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

Would be the most enjoyable vault ever, at least until the condoms ran out.
That's why you also limit the # of condoms they're allowed to have to 2 a day. Just to see what happens.

I'd lock a 1000 cats in my vault and leak radiation into the food and water and see what we had when the vault was opened. We'd either get Cat from Red dwarf, or scary ass mutated saber tooths.
Or dead cats.


Me? I'd have a seemingly normal vault, however have a few hundred brains in a hidden cryogenic area, and periodically replace a random person's brain with another, before switching it back a few months later. See what happens to the sanity of the place.


Otherwise, I'd simply erase people's minds and replace them with the personalities/minds of people from Victorian times. See how they adjust.

vault 13: all types of metal are played constantly (but not to the extent that everyone goes deaf)
Vault 13 already exists - someone never played Fallout 1. :p
AAAAAA DAM IT! don't remind me! it is a urban myth to find it where

I would fill the vault with politicians and business men and give them nothing but the tools and materials to plant their own food and build their own technology.

Then I would wait to see how much of the work is done...

I'd make an experiment to try to force evolution, by having two Vaults; one where it's rather cold and one where it's rather warm. I would then make it so that the population would breed faster, maybe by releasing an aphrodysiac in the venting system. As the years go by, the temperature in the Vaults would slowly lower or rise, respectively, forcing the Vaults' residents to continue to adapt to increasingly different enviroments.
Edit: Oh, and no weapons in either Vault.

Wait a number of hundred years, see how the populations from either Vault differs from eachother, and if they have adapted according to our perception of how evolution works.
Have they evolved to new species, or can they still mate with "standard" humans?
Can they mate with eachother?
Who would survive the best in a standard Vault's enviroment? (as in that of one of the control Vaults)
Who would survive best in the other's Vault?
Who would survive the best in the Wasteland?
And finally, who would win in a fight?

Edit: BTW, the Vaults were never made to save people, they were made to perform experiments on humans. The only ones who are even close to being what Vault-Tec advertised them as are the control Vaults, where the population would serve as a point of reference for the results of the other Vaults.
Evolution would only work with competitive breading the temperature difference would have to kill off a percentage of each generation. Also they would end up so inbred though that would only serve to enhance the effects of evolution. If I am ever a position to create vault experiment I would defiantly employ your ideas.

I had a few grand ideas tell me what u think would happen
total population of vaults 1000
1.900 total homophobs 100 extreamly well armed homosexuals
2.only teens admited, no overseer and 10 times the armor and wepens
3.all bisexuals need i say more
4.500 gays/500 lesbos 100 years
5.all super american/capitalist patriots forced to live in a vault baced on the USSR
6.no food but alot of guns and cloning tanks
7.same as above but clones have robot protectors
8.have buttion vault with its ok to press and all exept the vault door opens when pressed for better or worse
9.10 groups of people that hate each other but all have 1 esental service
10.when you enter the vault you are cuffed and blindefolded and split into groups of 50 by robots with fake gun fire convices that they are the last people on earth and that robots with shoot to kill orders pattol the halls (not true) and not to open the door(to main vault)

That would be awesome. I can picture that happening in a Fallout game; you're exploring the wilderness then BAM! a Sabertooth that has skin like a Yao Guai pounces on you. They could be exclusive to that area, and good luck if you want to actually get past the ones outside and go into the Vault...

My vault would be totally normal, except I would tell the people there is highly valueable treasure hidden somewhere in the vault. Initially they'd all think logically; why would they need treasure when it's the end of the world. Then if I keep increasing it's value, eventually they'd all go nuts and destroy the place and themselves trying to find it!

Take a bunch of WoW addicts and give them computers that can only run the game at its worst and the worst possible connection.

No furniture. There would be nowhere to sit, nothing to sleep on and nothing to do. Just the cold steel floor and walls. If it were me I'd go mad from lack of chairs.

Pitch Black vault with night-vision goggles that break after one year.
Ooh yeaah.

Hmm, or perhaps get all the world's military leaders and their best troops and put them in a vault full of sharp objects and guns.
See how long it takes...


Edit: I was reading about all the experiments yesterday, and they're pretty ingenious.

Have a computer place a bomb in a random place in the Vault and the inhabitants have to defuse it or they all die. And it repeats every year for 200 years.

why not just do something smart and make a incredibly large vault with a geck and a indoor farm with the soil separated from normal soil with around 20 people and an armoury

Create a vault wich holds 200 couples and enough of everything to keep it running for 100-300 years, including a GECK(or two). Also a gymnasium where the inhabitants can train in survival skills (mostly combat), so they can repopulate the world. The non-training and non-policing grade weapons are to be locked away until the vault opens or is compromised(breached).

Alteratively I'd prohibit the use of clothes and see how forced nudity impacts the human mind.

Make people think the place was haunted by using holgrams and stuff, and leave messages up. Have hidden cameras around too, and we can have a reality tv series!
