Talk:Vault 69

From The Vault

I wonder how far Vault 68 was from Vault 69, and how close their openings were to one another. 204.52.215.13 05:10, 18 October 2007 (UTC) Hehe...that would be ironic. ("So THEY're the neighbor's that've been making all that noise? Well, s---.")

If the world ever decides to fall into apocalyptic chaos, I call dibs on this vault. :P Turbine2k5 (What I am... - What I hear... - What I do...) 20:39, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

The problem is though, if all the women were fighting over you, then the strongest would emerge victorious, so basically you'd end up being stuck with a very muscular, ugly woman.--86.146.1.175 22:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually the most intelligent and most adaptive women would survive. Remember "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, but the one most adaptive to change."(Charles Darwin) Berger

I don't know... for some reason I tend to picture a massive brawl where intelligence is redundant.--86.146.1.175 11:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Another likely scenario is the females enslaving the male and using him as live sperm bank. - Redmess 04:10, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Can't a male have multiple partners?

If i'm not mistaken wouldn't this have worked because a man has the ability to take on multiple parteners. I mean you only need one man to impregnate several woman. And also woman aren't as sexually active as men. So they would be able to wait there turn longer than the men. With vault 68 only one man would be able to mate with the one woman since she can only be pregnate with one baby at a time.

Have sex with all 999 of them? The ladies would tear each other to pieces long before then. Just like 68. Nitty 18:25, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Assuming the above suggestion does manage to work (all the women take turns), you'll run into an issue one generation down the road where everyone outside of the initial population will be biologically related to everyone else. Aside from the horrible family tree this will cause, there will eventually present the problem of relative mating with each other if the Vault is to even attempt to survive. Though it seems to have worked for Andale, so who knows...

Inbreeding is not as dangerous as it's believed to be, especially in a long lived species such as humans. Besides, it's 999 women and one guy whose DNA half is randomized every insemination. _Tagaziel ^(call!) 07:12, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Its a genetic bottleneck that will cause the vault to fail because of inbreeding. This is probably meant to study the effects of inbreeding by forcing the population through a genetic bottleneck. - Redmess 04:08, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
