Note that this conversation did not take place in relation to any actual ongoing GURPS game.

<Celti> I just bought two tickets to an event I'm not really interested in because a cute redhead asked me to.
* Godwinson slaps Celti across the back of the head
<Godwinson> Stop failing your resistance rolls against Influence skills!
<Celti> That quirk for +4 to reactions from redheads really makes it hard, though!
<Godwinson> This is true
<Godwinson> You really need to swap out that quirk
<Godwinson> It's very characterful, sure, but a +4 is *really* suboptimal
<Celti> The GM doesn't believe in changing quirks after character creation without serious extenuating circumstances.
<Godwinson> Find someone with Brainwashing or Psychology skill
<Godwinson> RAW has those as valid ways to shift quirks around
<Godwinson> Probably a bit expensive though, seeing as how specialized those skills are
<Godwinson> Crap
<Godwinson> Wealth is a *really* overpowered advantage in this campaign
<Godwinson> Also, the GM needs to make up his mind if the US follows the Classless Meritocracy guidelines for status or not.

From a Rifts game several years back:

Vander: "Lemme explain to you about military men, kid! Steve thinks in terms of group survival. That means he ain't gonna consider his social life until everyone's safe. Somebody dies or gets hurt on his watch, he feels responsible. Your acting like a farking wombat in heat with termites up her shorts ain't helping!"

I've mentioned this quote before, but it's been a few years and so I'll mention it again:

"We're troubleshooters. We cause trouble, then we shoot at it."

Usually Paranoia troubleshooters are far too busy to deal with trouble caused by others to have time to cause much trouble themselves. Also, usually the trouble shoots them.

Not a quote but a vignette: Three troubleshooters hide in three open-topped crates standing side by side. The one in the middle takes a hand grenade in each hand and quietly drops them in the two other crates, then ducks.

Actually, an Infinite Worlds campaign. But it could apply to several games I've run.
