I'd make a vault where only ten percent of teh population coudl see or hear. They'd have to take it upon themselves to care for the rest, or let everyone die. Be an interesting morality test.
If you could create a Fallout Vault experiment, what would you do?

Well, being the softy that I am, I would have a vault that had everything for the people, no catch. Enough food and water and air for the vault and any vault offspring until the radiation dissipated, entertainment, and a sizable military force so that when the vault is opened and the GECK is activated, we can go about systematically clearing the wasteland of all those cute little death claws.
Now, my second choice would be the same, except there is no GECK, or trained security force, and the vault opens automatically in 10 years.

The Best Scientists And Best Remaining Artists In Vault 1337
They will have everything they need
They will work on bringing back the Singers who have Died(Andrew Wood, Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, ect)

well that and we are spoiled as a nation. We complain about being bored when other coutries are struggling to just live. Ever see an 8 year old with an ak 47 for protection? I have.stone0042 said:
For my vault...
I would make sure that all food is high sodium, low potassium based.
The temperature would remain at a constant 95 degrees F.
All water would be laced with a powerful laxative.
Let's see Skinner top that.

Pack a whole Vault full of metal heads and pump nothing but Yanni and the Chicken Dance through the speakers, 24/7. Catch it all on film.
Hypothesis: Unknown... either they all die from terminal brain damage within five hours, or a few of them simply go apeshit and kill the rest while clucking madly.
Hypothesis: Unknown... either they all die from terminal brain damage within five hours, or a few of them simply go apeshit and kill the rest while clucking madly.
My ideas and my conclusions:
A vault that slowly leaks natural gas into the rooms, which all have airtight seals. Which would make cooking dangerous, but wouldn't kill everyone in the vault. The food dispensers would only dispense raw food. Seal the vault for 100 years.
My conclusions: The people would probably have better constitutions, though they would get sick easily from eating raw food, and from the low levels of oxygen. There would be very few fights involving guns or explosives, as they would set off the gas.
Also, a vault that would slowly fill up with water, until there is very little room left to breathe, but still a little. For extra evilness, have the temperature in the vault be higher than 100 degrees farenheit (about 38 degrees celsius, if I am correct.)
My Conclusions: A lot of things would be very difficult, especially things that involve going down to the lower levels. People would probably get sick easily, and all die off due to the lack of proper waste disposal.
A vault filled with extremely bright lights (ie: brighter than sunlight), and very clean, shiny walls. All terminals would be have very low screen brightness.
My Conclusions: People would have serious eye problems, and using terminals would be nearly impossible due to glare.
A vault in which almost all objects are sharp, or have extremely rough surfaces. All food would come on metal skewers. Drinking glasses and bottles would be very thin, brittle, and prone to breaking. Have very few medical supplies (about enough for half of the population, if the vault wasn't a death-trap, for extra evilness, have twice as many other forms of medicine [ie: vaccine] and very few bandages, disinfectants, antiseptics, pain relievers, et cetera), no firearms or explosives, but a large amount of sharp objects such as knives.
My conclusion: People would get cut, and fight over the medical supplies, with knives, and maybe a few bottles too.
A vault which has no furniture in it, no radio, no entertainment tapes, and no intra-vault mail. People would not be allowed to take personal items in with them. The jumpsuit dispensers would be capable of producing a lot more jumpsuits than normal, and there would be a large supply of needles and thread.
My conclusion: People would socialize with each other (the old fashioned way) for fun, and makes stuff out of jumpsuits for fun and comfort (ie: make a pile of jumpsuits to sleep on) and maybe a few would make things such as tapestries, quilts, or rugs by sewing them together. Or perhaps they would just kill each other for fun, stab each other with needles, vandalize the place, or strangle each other with the jumpsuits. Either way...
A vault with no guns, absolutely no guns, and no batons. Security guards would instead be issued land mines and grenades, and ordered to kill people even for minor crimes. There wouldn't be enough supplies for everyone, only the armouries/armories have locks, and also for extra evilness, all medicines will contain significant amounts of stimulants (so, say, if a person got injured, and took some of the medicine, they would be much more likely to attack things.) For even more evilness, give higher ranking members of the security guards missle launchers, and the authority to kill anyone that displeases any of them.
My conclusion: They'll need a mop...
I also came up with, what in my opinion is a better, more sadistic idea, but it is potentially politically inflammatory, so I am not going to post it.
Anyway, now I feel like I need to give bottles of purified water to beggars in order to regain a good, or even neutral karma level, or kill evil people, and sever their fingers. (I was just trying to say "I feel really evil now" in a clever way, I don't think it worked.)

As far as I know, Vault 68 and 69 have been done so...
The Vault would contain the maximum amount of people possible in a single Vault (For purposes sake, lets say 1000 is a max). At first there would be a small room for every individual, plus all living equipment and minor entertainment equipment, which includes a Vault radio (Broadcast from within the Vault), TV with pre arranged TV shows (Multiple channels and a large pre-arranged selection for each channel) and finally a library for the entire vault. The only communal areas to socialise would be the library or in the food dispensing room (You spend about 2 minutes collecting your food and drink and leavig), which would mean your own room would be the primary source of entertainment. Ohh, and I emphasis small room.
After 10 years of not getting to know anyone else to a socially acceptable degree, you start closing rooms at random, collapsing them and eliminating the items and general space of that room. This would happen at 1 per day, until half the rooms were destroyed and removed from the Vault, and would mean that the other half would choose to house the homeless half or ignore them.
After 5 years of this, TV service would be removed altogether, leaving just the radio and their fellow man to pass the time (Plus library, forgot that one). After another 5 years (For those keeping count, it's been 20 years + however long it took to close half the rooms of the population), the radio transmitter would be disabled and all stored music would be deleted.
10 years after radio is removed, the vault is opened.
My hypothesis is that the vault dwellers would become indepedant and not care much or get along with other dwellers, seeing as the only things todo are in the privacy of their own room. When rooms are being removed from the vault, the vault dwellers who have available rooms then have a choice of housing the homeless in their already small rooms or ignoreing them. Same as for the homeless, who can now choose whether to remain homeless if no one offers to help, or they can take a room by force or band together and take entire sections of the vault.
After TV is removed, seeing whether those who haven't brought anyone into their room would change and open their doors out of boredom (Instead of helping in the name of common good), would be interesting. Seeing how people may react when forced to try and get along with others when they lack the social skills after such a long period coud yield interesting results. The same goes for the radio, forcing vault dwellers to make their own entertainment.
Expectations would be that gangs are formed early on to claim rooms when theirs are destroyed, or that people could open their doors and help their fellow man.
Sorry for inevitable spelling mistakes, I'm trying to stay awake overnight and the next day to get my sleeping pattern sorted, and I am tired already.
