Vault 001

[Skybird]

This reminds of Fallout 3, doesn't it:

http://www.terravivos.com/

So, is the naive illustration of "preparation for nuclear war" depicted in F3's pre-war remains really just ironic fiction? :hmmm:

Imagine the impact of a 10 km asteroid on Earth, or an allout nuclear war,. or a lethal global epidemic. Would you book a place in one of these?

What if doomsday lasts longer than 1 year, which easily is the case in the above scenarios - does the worst case then become an even worse case? :88)

I wouldn't go into one of these, considering the mentioned scenarios. Depending on the circumstances, survival can be more horrifying than the perspective of death. I would prefer to stay with and assist those I feel love and/or loyalty for, and once the time has come consider honourful suicide, or just let things happen to me, depending on what "things" are.

At one time, all things come to an end, and we all have to leave the show. The only real question is how we leave it: yelling, strampling, and hysterically acting, or - well, differently.

[DarkFish]

:o
Yes it does. It so much does.
Jeez, some architects have clearly been gaming too much:doh:

If I'd book a place in one of those if I had the money? I don't think so. I don't think I could leave my friends to die while surviving myself.
Luckily I don't have to worry about this as I don't have the money and don't have the paranoia to think it's necessary:D




PS. we're all gonna die!!!!! Planet X is coming!!!!!!http://www.clothdiapernation.com/vbforums/images/smilies/smiley-scared002.gifhttp://www.clothdiapernation.com/vbforums/images/smilies/smiley-scared002.gif

Obvious scam is obvious. :O:

[Skybird]

Run rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to start another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.

Why don't they just call it terracon.

25K for membership?

Looks legit.



Though they should have done some better homework in their "Tour" video, since it looks to me like they cleaned up a former missile silo or similar... and the grease streak running down that big blue door is a nice touch.

I think somebody swiped the concept straight out of the Fallout game universe, and is trying to make a business venture out of it - raising money to build by selling spots now. I'd wager that their "buyer's contract" indicates that "This is an investment, and no real product or service may exist at the time of signing... blah blah blah own risk and loss blah blah". Now, if they had all the sites built and tourable, that'd be a different story.

I can see this sort of thing getting more and more popular as 2012 rolls ever closer.

There are plenty of ex Cold War bunkers in the UK that you can buy, although not as nice as that one:D

At least you didn't say '007'.:03:

Turgidson:
Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

Strangelove:
Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

DeSadeski:
I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

Strangelove:
Thank you, sir.

If I had to guess I'd say 710 days until 21st December 2012 :yep:

[TorpX]

With all due respect to the Mayans and the assorted geniuses who read the signs (crop circles/sun spots/tea leaves/whatever) and know the TRUTH, I don't think the chance of the world coming to an end is any greater now than it ever was. Although, I must admit, I like the the idea about ten women for each man. :rotfl2:

Ok but would you still admit the idea if the ten are 5 feet tall and have each a weight about 500 lbs?

$25,000.00 starting prices...prices subject to change without notice, meaning you give them 25K, then if an actual event happens price goe's up to a few million and you're SOL....:haha:

If the end comes....I just assume go in the first blast.

Maybe we should go in on a SubSim vault. Just don't put me up in the General Topics wing; I'd rather not get stabbed.

Nah. The GT wing would dissolve into sucking fits of political rhetoric so fast, you'd die of asphyxiation long before anyone got close enough with a knife.

Ok, this is just MY tinfoil hat theory on local culture here, is that there is, with some people, a belief that the world will come to and end in the next few years.

Now what exactly that world ending event is, varies, depending on who you ask.

- some foresee a total breakdown of government and of armed rebellion.
- some foresee a complete economic collapse
- some think the rapture is coming
- others believe in the Mayan calender

I'm sure there's other theories to add to that list, but that's just a few of the ideas im aware of through hearing or reading. I have to add that I have one family member who seems to be stocking up for some sort of armageddon. Stocking up on arms, ammo, and If im not mistaken on provisions as well.

The running joke in the family is we'll all go to his house during the apocolypse because he's sitting on a personal armory and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Anyway, some peoples seem to believe that sort of an "end" is coming, and other's are capitalizing on that as an opportunity. The bunkers in question here, i recall seeing some documentary or news clipping about before.

Personally, i think our "end" will come as an economic collapse. Not anytime soon, but sometime in my lifetime when the oil well's to dry up and the prices for just about everything (including food) start soaring sky high. My thought is i'll be in my 60's or maybe 70's when this happens and possibly too frail to survive.

/end tin foil hat.

Matthew 6, 34Jeez, what's with all those bible quotes suddenly? Did the jehova witnesses trace you down and convert you or something?

[Rilder]

My experience with Jehovah's witnesses they don't quote the bible they just call your gods pretend.
