If you had a vault in your hands... : Fallout Series Discussion

Vault 43 - 1 gay man, 1 gay woman, told the vault would open in 10 years and they are the last people and as such need to repopulate the earth.

Vault 534 - Wing one: 50 christian people, who's values are their most important thing. 1 button that kills everyone in wing two.

Wing 2 - 50 cereal killers, who were told that the only way to get supplies was to kill everyone in wing 1. The door to wing 1 and the door to the armory would be opened 10 minutes after the announcement to the WHOLE vault that the cereal killers could only get supplies for killing the christians.

The ethical people decide if they kill or die.

And there were only 122 numbered vaults.

If I had a Vault in my hands I would have to be pretty damn big. Well my hands at least.

EDIT:

Oops I copied Si-Shen.

Anyhoo my vault would be like this.

Located in: Australia (Ima a Wasteland Aussie.)
Population Roster:
100 Scientists/Doctors
500 Vault Residents
450 Vault Guards
2609867920933928620982760298389609861 Overseers... Wait... How about just one?

Vault 86

Experiment: The Overseer, using a combination of brain implants and remote controls, will have total over the vault at all times ( lighting, food processing, climate control, etc). After clearly showing the control he has, he will claim his powers come from the divine.

Population: 500 people will be a standard representation of prewar demographics, 250 will be extremely religious, and 250 will be militantly atheist.

Purpose: Determine whether the overseer can establish god-like control over a diverse population if given godlike powers, and to determine which demographics will follow an absolute ruler.

The original population is told the Vault will open in 75 years, in reality it is left to the Overseer's discretion.

A vault that was very hot inside (heat wise)

I've seen men go mad in the heat, I've seen people do unspeakable thing's when its hot.

Heat generates anger, anger generates violence.. I'll let you fill in the rest.

100 people. 50 men and 50 woman. Every week the tempteure would get hotter, in'till it reached 75+ F

That, my friends, would be real tourture.

I think an interesting vault would be one where an artifial intelligence computer is the overseer, and he is programmed to make sure all things are random, like the amount of vault suits, amount of food, amount of locked doors. And it would change every day. The purpose would be to see how poeple survive in a random environment.

Have an autoturret enforced population limit of 1000 in a vault, and filter aphrodisiacs into the air.

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 3:05 am

This is not really an original but... Vault 69. You can figure out the rest.

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 8:27 am

A vault where everyone was taught Latin as a first and only language and then sent out into the world to test how quickly they could overcome language barriers.

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 9:44 pm

My idea requires three vaults, actually; call them 999-A, 999-B, and 999-C.

Vault 999-A
Initial population: 1,000 (500 male, 500 female, age distribution matching prewar average)
Support Capacity: 10,000
Experiment / Purpose: observe how a population copes with random bouts of pain, from mild to extreme, inflicted without rhyme or reason.
Awareness of other 999 Vaults: none
Vault opens: 200 years
Special equipment: none

Vault 999-B
Initial population: 1,000 (500 male, 500 female, age distribution matching prewar average)
Support Capacity: 10,000
Experiment / Purpose: observe how readily inhabitants will inflict pain on complete strangers (inhabitants of Vault 999-A), and what social effects the casual inflicting of pain on strangers might have
Awareness of other 999 Vaults: 999-A
Vault opens: 200 years
Special equipment: none

Vault 999-C
Initial population: 50 (25 male, 25 female, all advlts, all sterile)
Support Capacity: 10,000
Experiment / Purpose: Aside from initial 50-strong caretaker population, inhabitants will be those rescued from 999-A, or their descendants. Rescuees are all children (up to age ~13 or so), and are indoctrinated to believe they are to be the Elite, the *actual* rebuilders of human society, given extensive training (combat, weapons, engineering, etc). The question? "Will former victims turned into an Elite class tend to rise above their past, seek revenge, or follow some other path?"
Awareness of other 999 Vaults: 999-A and 999-B
Vault opens: 195 years - they have a five-year head start to prepare for the other two Vaults to open.
Special equipment: multiple GECK units. Large armory. Light industrial facilities (mothballed, disassembled, awaiting reassembly on the surface).

Special Notes:
They are built in extreme proximity to each other, and their entrances are at the end of very VERY long tunnels, spreading in a "Y" pattern from the location of the vaults themselves.
The EXIT tunnel, however, is an upward spiral that serves all three vaults simultaneously. A side-tunnel - initially sealed, during population insertion - from the entry tunnel leads to this spiral. The entry tunnel is sealed (via demolition) shortly after population insertion.
All vaults are connected through the Overseers' offices.
The Overseers and their immediate families are all aware of the total Experiment, and each sub-Experiment; they are also exempt from the Experiment within their own Vault.
The Overseers three together form a council for joint control of Vault 999.
The successor for Vault 999-C's current overseer is selected from the families of the current Overseers.

Total statistics for Vault 999:
Initial population: 2,050 (1,025 male, 1,025 female)
Support Capacity: 30,000
Vaults open: 195 to 200 years
TRUE EXPERIMENT: Create a class of victims, create a class of victimisers, and then create a class of FORMER victims who become empowered, are well armed, and have a five-year head start at rebuilding. What happens when all three groups are finally introduced to each other, face to face?

That is so awesome. And extremely well thought out. Kudos to you! :tops:

PS. Sorry if me quoting the whole thing was a bit much, I'm extremely new to this LOL.

Vault ### - All extreme cannibals. (Won't eat anything else) but, told they are the last people on earth and if they eat eachother, they will have emptied the eargth ofr people.

Experiment: See If people's fetishes can overcome their base instincts.

Vault ### - No rules. Any vault resident can do whatever they please. Vault opens after 20 years.

Experiment: See what happens in a completely lawless envorinment.

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 9:27 am

I would create a Vault that had several secret entryways to the outside world as well as the front gate. The side entrances are well defended by the Vault security force. The experiment is to see how well the Vault can defend itself against whatever or whoever happens to find these entrances and tries to plunder the Vault for its food, water and technology. The security team is issued kevlar and light firearms.

100 FOX reporters, one camera.

Vault 41

Experiment: 500 Vault residents which all have mysophobia (fear of germs/bacteria) are placed in a small Vault that contains three bathrooms. All three bathrooms have two toilets and one sink. After one month, one bathroom is scheduled to break down and flood. Doors in the Vault automatically close behind the residents as they walk though. The Vault contains enough anti-bacterial soap to last for three months. Vault contains enough supplies and resources to last 200 years, but opens after 50. Vault does not contain a GECK.
Population: 250 men and 250 women.

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:54 pm

vault 1-C
all the inmates of the vault eyelids were cut off
if a child cried they would be stood in front of the other children and be skinned alive
if any one asked any questions the would be dealt with swiftly and painfully

no entering no leaving
small amount of food
1 child every 10 years

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 12:44 am

10 completely sane and logical men and women. None of who have ever met before being put into the vault. The vault will open after 15 years. These 10 men and women have Advanced Power Armor Mark ll, Gatling Lasers, and enough amunition to last 10 times the time they will spend in the vault. None of these people have any combat training but know how to operate the power armors and gattling lasers, except for the overseer who was a 4 star general who just returned from china after winning many battles without a single loss.

One possibility: every day 1,000 panthers attack the vault from a room that is behind a locked door that no one can enter.

Second Possibility: The general drills the men and women in preparation of large attack that will never come, he is so opressive and his training is so rigourus that the vault dwellers snap and rebel against the overseer. As they head to attack him at his command room all of the vaults defenses kick in. The hallway leading to the room is a deathtrap of 250 turrets and mines. And worst of all the door behind the dwellers leading back away from the hallway has magnetically sealed and they cant get through.

My vault would probably be where the residents get weapons, and to get their daily food, water, etc. they must pass progressively tougher combat scenarios, and then see how they survive after being released, with the intent for them to be strong, future Enclave soldiers. That or a vault of 3 women, 2 men, a child, sixteen boxes of cherries, some marmalade, baseball equipment, and 6000 chocolate snack packs.

Vault 117:
1000 Female PETA Supporters, including their leader & 1000 Male Meat Eaters.
The only food is meat, and it has to be slaughtered, gutted, cleaned, cooked, you know the drill. Only females may do this, and everyone will starve if they don't. Also, the animals have been genetically modified to speak English and have been trained that begging for their life will save them. Also, the only clothing is fur and leather. No couples are together, and nobody is under 18. Also, there is no red paint or buckets. The Males take the other jobs, including security, and get to keep highly powerful weapons. The females are forced to eat meat if they don't kill at least 10 animals a month, and all reproduction of people is decided by the Overseer, who is in on it and hates PETA. Also, the rules are set by the guards, and can be made or destroyed (Minus the ones here) at any time. Also, everyone gets a puppy, a kitten, and a knife. They are told that the animals are their best friends and will never betray them and that they shouldn't ever harm or kill them, and are brainwashed to think this. At the same time, they are also brainwashed to eat them if they have to, making it hard for them to decide which to chose. It doesn't open.

Purpose:
To see how much it takes for people to go against their beliefs and even brainwashing. Also, this will be recorded by the 1000s of cameras in the place and shown as a reality show to the other vaults.

Vault 123:
1000 13 year old Males, 1000 13 Year old girls, 1000 Kittens, and 1000 Puppies. Oh, and 1 horse and 1 snake.
The Boys would all get a puppy and share the snake. The Girls would all get a kitten and have to share the horse. No relatives would be in it, and the Overseer would be elected. The candidates would be 1 girl and 1 boy, and they would have ultimate power. All 2000 vault dwellers would have the same birthday. There would be an overstock of weapons, no lock, and no school/teaching at all. the goal is to see if 2000 12 year olds can make a society. It doesn't open.

Vault J:
5001 (the last is the Overseer) Male Babies, 5000 Female Babies
All occupants are babies, and all the males are raised to be like Joker, and all their outfits are his Batman: TAS outfit. All the females are raised to be like Harley Quinn, and all their outfits are her Batman: TAS outfit. The Overseer, also starting as a baby, is raised to be like Batman (including having 2 Lifelike robot parents murdered by a lifelike robot gunman in a vault alley. The Overseer has the Batman: TAS Boxset for entertainment, and the Jokers have the Joker comics, and the Quinns the Harley Quinn comics. When the males turn 20, they are given the Jokers full arsenal, and set loose on the vault. Same thing with the Quinns and all of their stuff, and the Overseer and all of Batman's stuff. They can do whatever they want, and the Overseer has to stop them. The vault is a recreation of Gotham, and there are robot lifelike citizens, which none of them know are fake. It opens after Batman is killed.

Goal: To see what would happen if 5000 Jokers and 5000 Harley Quinns were set loose, and there was still only one Batman. That, and it would be entertainment for the other vaults after they are all freed. It would be recorded, edited, and played for all the other vaults.

Vault 9001:
9001 4chaners, and all of Scientology.
The channers would have unlimited access to weapons and armor. It opens when either all of Scientology is dead, or the other 9001 People.

Goal: The Death of Scientology.

Vault 64: Me, other fellow computer nerds and TONS of robots to build, plus a RobCo Mainframe and enough terminals to last us a lifetime, and devices to integrate our brains into the computer when we die.

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 9:29 am

Simple. Two overseers, five hundred citizens. Both Overseers were trained by Vault-Tec, but don't know the other is an official.

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 6:45 pm

My vault would be filled with thousands of powerful computers and computer games.

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 12:57 am

Vault -1

299

The vault has 300 toilets

600 Tons of Laxatives.

And One roll of toilet paper

And a Duck has the toilet paper

I'd create a vault that had drugs put in the dweller's water which cause them to have flashbacks or hallucinations, such as hearing voices to see if they survive or go insane.

Maybe a vault with 50 staunch atheists and 50 jesus-freaks.

I think it'd be sweet also to have a vault in which the dwellers would somehow be forced to divide into two factions. Certain things would be done by the Overseer(s) to incite a civil war.

Er, that's pretty much Vault 106 from FO3.
