Looking over the previous responses, here are my thoughts...</p>
<p>1. The GM should've done a character audit of all the characters before starting Eyes of the Ten. Any time I run any seeker arc, I always tell the players that they need to submit their characters to me 7 days in advance so that I am not terribly surprised by anything that happens. (Players surprising you is a given, but if you aren't familiar with the characters, it can slow down the game.)
<br />
2. If the player is willing to go over the math with you, then that may be the simplest solution to everything. That way, you aren't getting the GM involved.
<br />
3. If the player isn't willing to go over the math with you and the GM does not want to do any audits, you should explain to him that this character is impacting the enjoyment of the game for others. I would definitely talk with the other players before you approach the GM and confirm that it isn't just you that feels this way... If the whole table is getting frustrated, then this helps to legitimize your concerns. Truthfully, he shouldn't have to audit the character every session of the Eyes of the Ten since there shouldn't be THAT much in the way of changes between sessions. I would also present it to the GM by saying you would like him to do an audit of ALL of the characters running in Eyes of the Ten so that no one is feeling like they are being picked on.
<br />
4. If the GM is STILL unwilling to address the situation, then I would consider getting one of your VOs involved. Note, while it's in the job description of the VOs to help mediate issues within the group, it's not something that we like to do. Unless there is some grossly inappropriate things going on, I will normally leave it to the GMs to handle. (Basically, I don't want to ever be in the position of second-guessing my GMs.) That having been said, if you truly feel that the GM is not participating in the spirit of the Pathfinder Society by allowing someone that (as the GM stated) is fuzzy at math to play with a character that is taking the fun away from other players, you should always feel free to contact your VO. </p>
<p>The sad fact is that if you reach step 4, you will basically be in a position where you have to choose between the GM getting upset because you talked with your VO, and you (and other players) being upset. It is a no-win situation.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>I think that it really depends on the situation and the player dynamics involved. Looking over the previous responses, here are my thoughts...

<p>1. Does the person that ran the game get GM credit? I don't see anywhere that we can report it.</p>
<p>2. When I try to record the game, it states "Prestige does not count" even though I have everything entered in. Is this normal?</p>
<p>I've reported dozens and dozens of PFS scenarios, but the ACG is giving me all sorts of headaches with reporting at the moment... </p>
