I am somewhat new to Pathfinder Society, and have a question about the Replaying Scenarios. I have played a few scenarios and have GM 2 for the home group that I play with. I am not sure if I am understanding correctly how to apply the chornicle sheet. I have looked on the message board for an answer but was not able to find one that seemed to satisfy me as an answer.
Say I have a character XXXXX-1 (1st Level) and have played him in Masters of the Fallen Fortress (MotFF). I recieve a chronicle sheet for this character with the available items, XP, and gold awarded. Then I GM Season 0 - #5 Mist of Mwangi (MoM), I can apply the GM chronicle sheet, which is the XP, PA, and gold but no items awarded to this same character XXXXX-1. If someone else would GM Mist of Mwangi, I can play this character XXXXX-1 in this game and recieve a chronicle sheet with the XP, PA, gold, and awarded items. So this character XXXXX-1, has a chronicle sheet for MotFF with all of the awarded items, a sheet for MoM with only the XP, PA, and gold (my GM'ed game), and a sheet for MoM where I played the character that has all awarded items.
What I am not sure about is if I were to make up a character XXXXX-2 (1st Level). Can I play this character XXXXX-2 in Mist of Mwangi, and recieve a chronicle sheet that awards all of the XP, PA, gold, and items to this character?
I am sorry about this being a little long, but was not sure of an easier way to ask it where I would make sure I get the answer I am looking for.
Thanks for the help.

Close, but no. XXXX-1 would get the GM credit for MoM (the only thing you don't get are boons and a day job roll for that chronicle). However, when you played through it after you ran it, you would have to do so with a different character or pre-gen, and that new character XXXX-2 would get the credit. A character that has already received credit for a specific scenario can not replay back through it, unless needed to make a legal table, and even then they do so for NO reward what so ever.

This character, as indicated above should be made for the first time you play MoM after you GM'd it.

In general, you as a player can only get credit a total of 2 times for a scenario. Once for playing through it and once for GM'ing it. However, no single character, xxxx-x, can get credit for the scenario more than a single time.
Hope that helps.

For any given scenario, you (the real person) can only receive credit twice: once for playing, and once for GMing.
Also, no single character can get credit twice for the same scenario (even if one is for playing and the other for GMing).
So if XXXXX-1 already has credit for Mists of Mwangi for any reason, you can't play him in it and you can't apply a GM credit for it to that character.
If you have already played Mists of Mwangi with any character, you can never play it again for credit, even with a different character.
If you have already GMed Mists of Mwangi for credit, you can not get GM credit for it again for any character.
To sum up:
• You can never have more than two credits for a single scenario.
• You can never get more than one credit for playing a single scenario.
• You can never get more than one credit for GMing a single scenario.
• A single character can never have more than one credit for a single scenario - they can have either the player credit or the GM credit; not both.
Make sense?
Also, I believe your GM credit allows items (but not boons).
I've probably been ninja'd by now, but there you go.

Welcome to the Pathfinder Society, as a player and as a GM!
Everyone else is spot on: As a Pathfinder player, you can only get one chronicle for playing a scenario and one chronicle for GMing a scenario, and the chronicles must go to separate characters. You are welcome to GM any given scenario more than once in order to accumulate credit toward your GM rating, but you only get a GM chronicle one time for one character.
Can I play this character XXXXX-2 in Mist of Mwangi, and recieve a chronicle sheet that awards all of the XP, PA, gold, and items to this character?
Your post keeps mentioning that a chronicle sheet "awards items" to the player. You probably have this right and are mis-writing it, but I'll clarify anyway - you don't automatically get awarded the items listed for free, you only get access to purchase the listed items immediately or at any future time.
The Society taketh all you find, rewards you with money, and then giveth everyone in your party the option to buy back whatever you can afford. Only found one Flaming Battleaxe +2? You can all buy one later, if you have the money.

"There is one exception to this rule: Tier 1 scenarios may be played or run as many times as necessary as a means of introduce new players or characters into the campaign. Each time you play or GM a Tier 1 scenario, you may receive a Chronicle for the event, but no single PC can have more than one Chronicle for the same scenario."
Not sure if that has been addressed, but thought it was worth mentioning here.

For further clarification, that line is referring to Masters of the Fallen Fortress and the First Steps trilogy (which our group affectionately refers to as NEW MASTERS.)
Those scenarios can be run an infinite number of times, as they have the limitation that the chronicles can only be applied to brand-new characters.

Don't forget Godsmouth Heresy, and that doesn't have the beginning characters only limitation... though you'd have to remake your characters at level 1 to go through it.

So what i am seeing is that if I ran and played The Devil we know part 1: Shipyard rats then i get credit for 2 characters xxxxx-1 and xxxx-2. Ok i understand that part. I wont get credit ever again because it is a Tier 1-7 module. Even if you start new players at level 1...right? So what is a Tier 1 module that you CAN get credit for multiple characters you start at level 1 with new players/characters? So no tier 1-X modules, just tier 1 only, can be ran that way then?

First Steps Trilogy will allow you to always get player or GM credit to a new character. So will Master of the Fallen Fortress, but I don't like to talk about that one.
