You're on a Tier 5-9 diplomatic mission, and the question "who's the party face?" is met with blank stares.
Yeah, I had one of those once. The GM warned us that we should bring PCs with social skills, and the rest of the group just didn't have any. So having a choice of PCs, I brought my battle oracle, since he has some charisma and diplomacy skill, though in an emergency, he can only speak Infernal, due to the tongues curse.

Blakros whatrimony?What's worse:
GM: "It's a social scenario!"
Everybody: "I'll bring my bard/face character/"diplomancer with all the Skill Focuses" forever!"Then combat ensues.
It seems each 'social scenario' has enemies that punch outside their weight class.
Shadow Demons, Wraiths, Succubi- -I expect the next 'social scenario' to have Brain Oozes or Mummies with class levels or something.

Or even fire-breathing mummies...
How about AD&D 1.0 module A3 that had an illusion on a rust monster to make it appear as an ankylosaurus?

You're on a Tier 5-9 diplomatic mission, and the question "who's the party face?" is met with blank stares.Easy answer when I am there. EVERYBODY loves Lucius... and if they don't, they will!
I was in a scenario where my ranger was the face of the party due to his 10 charisma.

Brown mold encrusted mummies is one of my favorite encounters I've seen designed for PFS. Not mentioning the title so as to not spoil it, but that one had an even better chocolate + peanut butter monster combo near the entrance...
Seen clockwork soldiers encrusted in that stuff once, but never a mummy. Something to look forward to, I guess.

"Beauty ain't just skin deep, bird-man! You of all people should know how The Man puts us non-humans down. Can't appreciate an alternate form of beauty.
As a matter of fact, Zykon Gibbs, I suggest that you agree with Lucius... that as a matter of fact, you always agreed with Lucius!" [ooc](cast suggestion spell, DC24 Will save)

Yeah, there is a reason I brought Lucius up ;)

I know that one! Have to say that if one of the characters weren't there, a load of bad could have happened.
So, there's an alchemist that speaks only Polyglot at the table......

Would it be bad form to mail the mini of the now deceased character to the scenario author?

The minmaxer is trying to dial back the carnage but Gorum keeps sending them natural 20's anyway...I have (just recently) seen a player use a reroll to cancel a possible crit to spare an NPC we wanted to bring in alive.
It was amusing.
More like amazing. It's a rather smart move.

That was pretty epic.

You sit down for a nice political intrigue game and this alias is the character someone is playing.
You deliberately sign up for a campaign of Ponyfinder, and as the GM sits down he tells you the campaign is named "My Little Cthulhu: Friendship is Madness"
Is it wrong that I want to play in this campaign?
I'm not seeing any reasons not to play.
You know you're in trouble when you realise you are older than all the other players put together, and a guy you don't know shouts "thanks for babysitting" before exiting the room at a run.
That just means it's time for We be Goblins

You know your in trouble when...
You ask people to get their dice and character sheets out, and half the players ask what a dice is.
and the rest reach for
MLP bed linen...|

I've had that exact thing actually happen to me, only I was the GM. For We Be Goblins.
It actually worked out fairly well in the end.

What if I choose a reroll so that my successful will save against the black blade is possibly a failure?

It depends on your motives for attempting to fail the check. If you're trying to fail the check to benefit your fellow pathfinders, it would be allowed. If you're trying to subvert the no pvp rule by having your class ability do the dirty work, I'd issue a verbal warning, escalating to kicking you from my table and all my future tables if you attempted to persist in spite of that warning.
It's almost always to prevent loss of control of the character to bad guy dominate attempts or something similar. I've never seen a player use that aspect of the black blade for anything but helpful actions.
Did the conversation from the black blade thread end up in the wrong thread?

...when people begin using "Cure Light Wounds" during combat in Tier 7-11.
Hey now, my gunslinger/inquisitor casting cure light wounds in combat saved the whole party in 7-11 Tier. We missed out on the surprise round and then lost initiative. I was the only one in the party who didn't go down (becasue I made all 4 reflex saves luckily) and managed to get the cleric back to 1 hp so she could channel. Wisps man. I still get Vietnam flashbacks whenever someone mentions Wisps.

...your friendly neighborhood PFS telekineticist routinely throws dead sharks, fruit and vegetables, wagons, tickle-me-Osprey dolls, dust motes, bowling balls, waffle irons, Wayfinders, and hairpieces (for all 3 kinds of damage) but specializes in the bow and crossbow. Throwing them, that is.
...And don't even get me started about the wasps. He also threw some people at a swarm of angry wasps, and then threw a swarm of angry wasps at a swarm of angry wasps.
