Howdy. So, first, this is the relevant bit of what the guide says about replays:

PFS Guide wrote:

You cannot receive more than 1 player Chronicle and 1

GM Chronicle for the same scenario, regardless of how
many times you GM or play the scenario. You are free to
replay a scenario in order to meet the minimum legal
table size (see Chapter 7), but once you have reached that
limit, you do not earn any additional rewards beyond
having a good time. A player replaying a scenario in
order for the table to reach the minium table size should
(in this instance only) be given a Chronicle for the
scenario, though marked to earn 0 Gold, 0 Fame, 0 XP;
it does not allow the character to make a ‘Day Job’ check,
no boons, item access, or anything else appearing on the
Chronicle might provide for having played the scenario.
This Chronicle only serves as a placeholder to indicate
the character participated in the adventure, and gives a
place for consumables, purchases, and conditions to be
tracked from playing through the adventure. This is the
only exception to not having two of the same Chronicle
assigned to one character.

Okay, that's clear, and what I've found in other threads with the search function.

However! I accidentally replayed. I moved to a table that only had two players so we could meet the minimum 3-plus-a-GM(N?)PC (eventually a fourth showed up, though), and I thought I was playing the Part II of a scenario I had played the Part I of.

In case you're wondering how that happened: the chronicle sheet for PFS Scenario 2-02: Before the Dawn—Part II: Rescue at Azlant Ridge has a typo in the title, and says Part I. Also, this was actually the very first PFS Scenario I ever played (I played 6-7 tier with a pregen), and the time disparity between then and now combined with a fairly generic first encounter made me not realize I was replaying the scenario until about a third of the way through!

What I should have done was informed the GM as soon as I realized, but I didn't because 1) it was a little awkward, what with my not realizing I was replaying, 2) I wasn't planning on spoiling anything or acting on any metagame or previous knowledge (and I did not, as far as I know), and 3) the GM was talking before the game about disliking pregens and having a GM(N?)PC, so I figured he would have preferred to have someone replaying than play a DM(N?)PC. Oh, and 4) I was ignorant of how replay chronicles worked (this being unexpectedly the first time).

But I didn't do the things above. As such, I ended up with a chronicle sheet with XP and gold on it when it should have nothing. How do I go about remedying this? Have I inadvertently screwed up scenario reporting? (If I have, I apologize and blame Cosmo.)

Silver Crusade 3/5

The reporting isn't screwed up. In the system, there will be a flag that says that you have already played that scenario.

Approach the event organizer or the VO for your area and explain what happened. It really is no big deal for them to fix the reporting.

As for the Chronicle sheet, just write VOID on it, or tear it up, or whatever you want. It isn't a legal Chronicle, so you should not apply it to your character. But it is otherwise no big deal. It happens.
