I've got two rules questions based on some of the new language in 4.3 (well in 3.0+ really) and there seems to be local disagreement on the meaning of these:
1) GM Credit always 2 or does "Full Credit" = "What the PC's playing got"? I've ran some Free RPG Day modules (1xp/1pp) and the website says 2 PP. I've ran some Modules (3xp/4pp) and the site says 2 pp. Ignore the paizo reporting site? Or stick with 2 pp no matter what?
2) Slow or Normal. Scenario: Play 2 scenarios at normal (2 xp) then play a Module (+3 xp = 5 xp.) Choose Slow for 1st level. Do I convert the 3 xp to (1 xp + 2/2 xp = 2 xp) or leave it at 3 and apply each event at 1/2 xp for the remaining of 1st level.

The GM receives maximum prestige, i.e. 2 for a scenario, 4 for a module, or 1 for a free RPG day module. It's not dependent on what the players got. The bug in the reporting system where it always gives 2 PP is a known issue, but is low priority to address. Your chronicle sheets are your primary record.
2) Slow or Normal. Scenario: Play 2 scenarios at normal (2 xp) then play a Module (+3 xp = 5 xp.) Choose Slow for 1st level. Do I convert the 3 xp to (1 xp + 2/2 xp = 2 xp) or leave it at 3 and apply each event at 1/2 xp for the remaining of 1st level.
You can only switch between normal and slow track when you reach the exact number of XP needed to level up, i.e. a multiple of 3.
If you jump straight from 2 XP to 5 XP due to being on the normal track and playing a module, you have to play your next adventure at normal track too. If that's a scenario, taking you up to 6 XP, you could switch to the slow track then.

1) The Chronicle is king, not the website. The GM can not get more or less prestige than the module/scenario provide.
2) Slow/Normal must be chosen in whole level increments. If you go slow for a level and get 2 XP for two scenario and then play a module that give 1 1/2, you now have 3 1/2 XP meaning you gain a level and already have 1/2 XP into the next level. This new level also must be played at slow progression due to the carry over of 1/2 XP played at slow from the module.
