If you could create a Fallout Vault experiment, what would you do?

[A random person]

Have a lot of cosplaying anime fans, make the Vault a convention, and have a somewhat smaller population of rabid anime haters with megaphones. Observers will be given complimentary popcorn, candy, and soft drinks.

From that same basic idea, have a vault of geeky, not very religious people into stuff like video games, violent movies, books about magical things like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, tabletop gaming, rock, rap, and metal music, anime (not to the extent of the above, however), and anything that causes moral panics. Put in some fundy families. The same complimentary snackfoods will be provided to observers, along with puzzles, quality reading material, and other mentally stimulating things to prevent the onset of retardation.

I'd have an outdated computer installed and a timer that counts down from 108 minutes and when it hits 4 minutes you have to enter the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42 into the machine and press execute.

Or maybe I'd recreate that boat scene from The Dark Knight where they have the detonator to eachothers side of the vault.

 

[SnowCold]

I'll divide the vault into 2 groups by some method, and take wacky missions to get extra food and members.
It would be the most populer show in the waste lands when TV is reinvented

 

[Daclunator]

I would kinda... murder all the guys... so it's only me and women

trust me, I am that crazy >.> example: I shall tell everyone that I be a furry

 

[Goldbling]

That's sick.
wait, that's the point...
Doesn't matter, don't mess with da catz!


OT:
I would lock everyone up, and then kill one person. Make it look like murder, and then watch them try to figure out who it was. Then systematically kill everyone off, leaving two people. Then watch what happens

Or, you could totally copy oblivion in that one mission, oh wait.

 

[jobobob]

I would start mass production of the Experimental MIRV and see force random people to test it.

 

[SnowCold]

A vault with 37% men, 38% women and 25% wacky inflatable flailing arm men. With Carmeladasen playing 24/7. There is also no clothes alowed.

And enough guns for everyone can kill themselfves (including the wacky inflatablearm men)

But they can't shot eachother since.... friendly fire is off

 

[Juraz]

Put a 1 gay man 1 lesbian and one straight man into the fault to see what would happen and who would change sexual preference first.

 

[SnowCold]

Also, Have a vualt that for the first year, have all the books be political books, and all the TV and radio programs be political propoganda and debates (but not for the same goverment though). Then after a Year, the overseer will mysteriosly die, and his personal servent bot will tell the dewllers that there will be no new overseer, and that they must reorginize the vault, Will they negoiate about how they want the vault to be (democratic, comunist, dictatoric (new overseer) ,anarchrist, etc...), will they use force, will they devide the vault into diffrent camps, or just ignore it and live with no ruler (anarchristism).

Also, you guys are forgeting the point of the vault, while they didn't REALLY care about the dwellers, they didn't want them to die, what can they learn about humanity from that?

 

[seige122]

My vault would be just like vault 112 to were everyone is in a perfect simulation but i would have alot more peaple about like 400 so its big. The vault would be secure forever and yes I would be the simulation leader so i could have some fun with that! I would also be able to know what the situation is like outside the vault once the world is seems fine I would relese everyone and we would be in real life!

 

[Murlin]

Stuff the vault up with kids, gore movies, weapons, and tools like chainsaws.
See what comes out once the vault opens >

 

[hippo24]

Make supermutants.
Its not glamourous.
But, If I dont do it, what will we use as plotlines in future fallout games.

 

[Lord George]

I'd have two group deprived from two distinct cultures that strongly oppose and hate each other, each group would have control of the other groups food, water and power supplies, and they would both be aware of this. It would be very interesting to see what happened, if they put aside differences for survival or if they make some kind of truce pattern. Then again it would only take one crazy radical on either side to cut off the water/food and everything would go to hell.

 

[Woem]

I would have a Vault with the sole purpose of shooting the most tasteful yet satisfying love scene.

Musical vault:

Hypothesis: Either people would fight for the rooms, find a way to break the system and stop the madness, or they would survive to the end of it all with a reward of environment suits and a life outside Vault 45 protected by robots

the realise that protectrons are USELESS and die

Yeah, the people in the vault could probably overpower the protectrons with their fists if they wanted. Also, I don't know why, but I am really fond of them, despite, or most likely because of their uselessness. Seriously, the Mr. Handy robots seem to be more capable security robots (actually, come to think of it, I have seen them used that way several times), and they were meant to be robotic assistants.

As a note to future readers: if you are a company planning on making security robots, they should be able to survive at least the same amount of gunfire as a human. Unless you still have planned obsolence as a business model, but I think that, in that case, people will catch on pretty quickly.

Moral choices are boring. That's why I would spice mine up a little bit. I would leave the vault door open, place a homing beacon and the codes to the door in someone's food, then watch them try not to kill him. It would happen eventually, it would just be fun watching them restrain themselves.

A cookie to the first person who comes up with a solution to keep him from passing it.

 

[ghostsprite9]

i would have one vault, but at the end of the vault is two very small vaults one containing only females one containing only males, each told the other one is there. But the doors won't be locked only "broken" they have to figure out how to get out and join the other vault in the main vault before the food rations run out (or so they think), also there will be two doors one leading to the out side where we have said they will die.

but there will be another two vaults both filled with lunatics/murders one vault male and one female and we will see how long it takes for them tofind everyone out and not die.also in the middle of the vault there will be weapons in the middle and everyone has been told to be careful because of the "infestaion" of zombies/gouls (there isnt) and see what happens.
