Default GURPSify a quote

"Cowardice (12) leads to Bad Temper (12). Bad Temper (12) leads to Intolerance. Intolerance leads to Chronic Pain. Chronic Pain leads to Force Talent (Corruption -20%)."

I believe you'll find the majority of the answer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFnFr-DOPf8

Here's an easy one, just to keep the ball rolling:

"Ally (Mount; Built on 50%; 15 or less) [10]! Ally (Mount; Built on 50%; 15 or less) [10]! I'll happily exchange my Status 6 [30] for Ally (Mount; Built on 50%; 15 or less) [10]!"

"War. War never changes." from the Fallout series.

So, this is a guessing game? Because I can't imagine that being too difficult unless the source quote is fairly obscure. Let me try one that might be a bit more obfuscated:

"Some PC built on 300+ points with powers from the Mutant source, never even considered for inspiring a general character template. With Weirdness Magnet linked to Destiny (Great Disadvantage), but also Unkillable linked to Unique."

I wanted to mention this one in the recent Genchat zombie thread.
Kinda short on GURPS crunch, but I got no books right now.

Sig gear:

Flaming Composite Bow, Very Fine (Materials/Decoration)
Arrows, Imbued, power based on archer's Will
Spear of Weather Control
Vehicle (Fnord), Flaming

Great Vow: Fight to achieve something humanly impossible, all the time.

Sorry to be negative, but we've already got a Guess the Character thread. This one's for quotes.

Haven't gotten PK's yet, but it sounds like the intro from a TV show or movie (along the lines of Superman, Last Airbender, Wolverine, Six Million Dollar Man in feel, not detail)).

Kinda sounds like Quantum Leap? Except that's not quite Mutant.

It is a quote that appears in print and consists of a series of speech acts.

Edit:

ADD Sig Gear to Inventory:

Flaming Composite Bow, Very Fine (Materials/Decoration)
Arrows, Imbued, power based on archer's Will
Spear of Weather Control (Equip, Activate)
Vehicle (Fnord), Flaming

PRONOUNCE Great Vow: Fight to achieve a specific humanly impossible goal, all the time.

Last edited by trans; 10-14-2013 at 06:50 PM. Reason: add "to Inventory"; "(Equip, Activate); clarify vow

Bingo! I was hoping I wasn't the only Thompson fan on these forums.
