Who said anything about an "uproar"?I ask because I played PFS alongside a summoner not too long ago who had, if memory serves, a +26 to diplomacy at 5th level. Not you, as far as I know. The people who are sick of playing a table where they aren't needed made the uproar.
One year ago today I played my first PFS scenario with my Son. Quest for Perfection Pt 1 if I remember correctly. Thanks to the Paizo for making such a fun game I can share with my son. Thanks to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Pathfinder Society for helping me learn the ropes. And finally thanks to all the players and GMs I've spent many hours with this past year. Here's to another great year!
re-read the rest of his post that you snipped, he explained it. Done and done. I even went back and read it a third time. And before you say its perfectly clear, just know that to me it isn't perfectly clear. I'm genuinely confused.
Careful Sveden. Please explain. What is that you mean because I don't understand. And to be clear I'm honestly not being obtuse. I just don't have any idea what this 5star is saying to me. When a 5star speaks I listen. Its important to learn things from your betters. And when I get a warning to Be Careful, my ears prick up and my attention turns to problem at hand.
Find out what for sure?How can I find out for sure? Whether or not it would help if I linked to a sub page in the FAQ section.
If it takes you that long to look up Undead traits in Bestiary 1 then you got problems.Not talking about the time to look it up. Talking about the time to convince them that the fact that it doesn't specify whether they're immune or not means they're not. Thankfully illiterate GMs are few and far between.
To play devil's advocate here, what's the difference between my playing a PC that needs 15 minutes to explain and my playing a PC that I could explain in 1 minute except that GMs don't believe me and need 15 minutes of convincing? If it takes you that long to look up Undead traits in Bestiary 1 then you got problems.

What was the last scenario to bump you over 150?The last scenario I GMed, that got me to 149, was 3-EX: Cyphermage Dilemma at Dragon Con. The game that pushed me over the 150 mark was the play test of the first running of Shattered Star AP, part 1 sanctioned play last Friday. Truth be told, it looks like it could take another full session to get fully through it to my satisfaction, though. But who had the dubious task of "judging" your performance. >:]
Just played Crypt of the Everflame (brutal, that one, at least with just a useless Bard, a ditsy teenage Inquisitor who also had control of Kyra, and my Evoker, all lvl 1), and I'm wondering if what I'm doing now is PFS legal. Because its specifically prohibited in the Guide to Organized play.

One player controlling two PCs at the table isn't legal. Kyra should have been controlled by the GM. As far as rebuilding when you have 4 XP, personally I'd say no but its a grey area to be sure. One that seems to have been answered by campaign staff.
Our general comment during part 1 was "Pay up, and remember that the Aspis are a bunch of jerks who show up and take your stuff. You probably shouldn't do business with us ever again. If I had the Aspis knocking down my door, I might even lead a revolt!"I really played this up with one group: all the NPCs kept seeing the PCs' actions in the best possible light and promising to spread the good name of the Aspis Consortium all over the city. E.g., the rescued husband at the Fishbowl: "You guys are the Aspis Consortium? Huh, never heard of them before, but you guys saved me and my daughters from certain death, so I'll tell everyone I know how great the Aspis Consortium is. Thanks, Aspis Consortium, you're real heroes!!" Delightfully frustrating for them. One of the players at my table thought of the effects of saving the daughters and the father while in the guise of Aspis. As the NPC father I had to get down on my knees and beg for the lives of myself and my daughters not to be sold into slavery by the party. Fun times!
Of the 59 scenarios I've run I've only received credit for 70% of them. That's largely because I'm new to this campaign. I expect that percentage to decrease as I continue to GM. The credit is important but its more important to me that my store's gamedays serve as many people as possible.
Where is this character death recorded? They wouldn't get a chronicle sheet or reward and therefore bear no risk either as there is no record at all of them playing at the table.When the Event Coordinator or GM enters the session sheet for the game they would mark that player dead. Same way as every other time.
Doesn't the reporting system give you an error if you try to report someone as playing a scenario more than once though?Where is this character death recorded? They wouldn't get a chronicle sheet or reward and therefore bear no risk either as there is no record at all of them playing at the table.When the Event Coordinator or GM enters the session sheet for the game they would mark that player dead. Same way as every other time. No. It just doesn't give them credit.
Ahem! Please show me where I said to not "expect a scenario to conclude within 6 hours". Why do you feel it is OK to make things up?

I never said that Netopalis. I'm trying to be patient with a new enthusiastic user but my patience is wearing thin. Do not misquote me again.
The GM let me have the whole thing, but in part because the scenario that was supposed to last 4 hours had already lasted 6, and because it was basically a done deal.I recently had to leave during the middle of a game due to a personal emergency. The table was running rather long, and we were approaching the final encounter anyway. I left my mini and my character sheet, and asked the GM to finish the last encounter (which we were just getting ready to start)with the GM playing my character. Could you have asked this player to do something similar?You would get 1 XP, 1 PP if you completed your faction's mission, 1 PP if somehow the Society's goal had been met w/o the final encounter (it happens), and any treasure you had acquired up to the point where you left. PFS scenarios can run longer than 4 hours. In fact they usually do. Your GM should not have implied or stated it would take only 4 hours. You should only receive 1 XP and 2PP and full gold if everything was already earned before you left the table. If not, your GM made a mistake. It happens.

Could you have asked this player to do something similar? No because that is not allowed. If you leave you get the credit for what you completed. Having a GM bot your PC isn't allowed.
What?! No.
If you will note, I later retracted these statements. They were largely based on a particular thread that I read, which I was informed was a joke and was not to be taken seriously.Could you please link to the sources for these three statements. I'm glad you have specifically retracted these statements. That is a good thing.
Could you please link to the sources for these three statements.
Original Post You went to a convention that had either poor planning or poor usage of tickets by players which resulted in your son not having a table during a slot and... what? What does this mean to you in regards to your dislike of a phrase(earning the right to play) in a different thread? Please elaborate on the lessons to be learned about your anecdote.
I vote yay, I can't think of a time when a level 7 pregen has ever been played at any of the games I have gone to, or at any of the games I have helped organize. We are playing mid to high tier levels, and everyone already has a character in those tiers. We have at least one table set aside for lower level characters and we play the level one and the level four pregens. I know a player who once his PC reaches level 7 he will jump to level 9 because of all the level 7 pregen credit he has racked up. Food for thought.
