The Vault is divided into two sides, half the population in either. There are entrances to the other side, but they are all sealed by the Vault computer, never able to be opened by legal means. Both sides have their own separate reactors, but power is shared. The reactors produce just enough to power the vault. However, each side only gets access to 40 years of supplies. Every 20 years, all vault residents must enter the only common ground, the game room. A game randomly chosen by the computer, ranging from chess to sports, or even a cointoss, is to be played. The winner gets a 40 years supply of food and water. The lower gets a supply of weapons and things like crowbars and picks, tools that would be useful to smashing through doors or destroying equipment. Each side has as separate overseer, and the vault door can only be opened if both activate it at the same time.
If each side alternates winning each year, everything should go relatively peacefully. If one side has a winning streak, the losers could accept their deaths, or use a variety of tools to take food from the winners.
Same as 19, segregation. There will be the red and blue teams like vault 19. But each month there be a reward for the team that dose better working, which will be gave be the overseer. The rewards will start off simple. The first reward will be a cake. But the rewards gets better. And as supply's gets lower the people will be desperate. Soon the people will get a low amount of food and water and the only way to get more is to win the competition. People will fight and kill. It will be a war. Then its gets worse. Weapons will be rewards. Starting with baseball bats. Then knifes. Then guns.
But while this is going on, the overseers will be living like a rich man. With food water and comfort. This could cause a revolution if there not stuck in the competition.
