Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Voting closed! By unanimous vote, the winner is:
[X] Draw your knife and fight them off (Melee Weapons)
And lets see how that works out for you! This will be a 'soft roll', meaning that a failure that isn't more than double Nick's percentage will give him a partially successful result...
Nick Hesting, The Retiree.
Back when you were the head of Maintenance, you relied on your ability to get along with everyone to get by. You made a point of always being polite, and of keeping first aid supplies on hand for whenever someone inevitably cut themselves on a piece of machinery they...
The first thing you need to do, you decide, is take an inventory of the vault’s defenses. With the outer vault door left open, your home is potentially vulnerable. You have no idea what dangers lurk out there, but your small security force and their equipment is all that stands between you and...

The first thing you do is schedule an all-department meeting. Normally there’d be some grumbling about how recently the last one was, but given the circumstances everyone was kind of expecting it.
It doesn’t take long before you’ve got everyone assembled around your desk. Once they’ve all sat...

[X] Call a meeting of all department heads. (Takes 2 actions).

As you assembled your thoughts, a clear plan of action came together in your mind. First and foremost, you scheduled a meeting with Nicole. She answered that she was already on her way, and a few minutes later she was announced by your secretary and admitted into your office.
“I’m glad to see...
Voting Closed! The winning vote is to keep focus on your strengths:
[X] Split points between three skills, spending the odd point on the lower skill (write in three)

This will increase Barter and Speech by 12, and Science by 14 as I will generally put spare...

You look at Nick standing in front of that vault door, looking back at you with resigned expectation. Waiting for you to send him out of the vault, to who knows what, and to never return.
You feel deeply conflicted. This has been your vault’s way of life for over a century. The last attempt...

You look out at the collection of people laid out before you. All the people who run the vault in which you were, until yesterday, just a citizen. And now they were all watching you, waiting to see what your effort to lead them would look like.
Taking in a deep breath, you got things rolling...
Voting Closed!
Winning plan is
[X]Get a real sense of significant problems in the vault
[X] propose research into the water supply, find out how 50 years ago the water became infected.
This next week I plan to focus on this quite a bit.
I'm going to point out that the Pip-boys are the most obvious culprit for tracking age. And you would assume that if circumventing that was easy, they would probably have done that fifty years ago, but literally no one from then is still in the vault so you don't really know.
You knew retirement is just a fact of life. It happened to everyone, and so there was no one to blame for it. Everyone knew that the vault couldn’t support an aging population. Everyone knew it would be disrespectful to all the generations that had gone through the vault door before yours to...
