As a fairly recent addition to the my PFS page, you can now see things like who's GMed for you how many times etc.
Looking at just RPG tables (ignoring CORE and ACG)...
According to my records, I've played PFS with 56 different GMs.
Top 11 being...
Azmyth 11 games (Last Game February 2014)
Yocholly 10 Games (Last Game July 2011)
Hawken Agricola 9 Games (Last Game July 2015)
Sarta 7 Games (Last Game February 2016)
Charwood 7 Games (Last Game May 2015 6 games before that all 2010)
roysier 7 Games (Last Game February 2017)
thistledown 7 Games (Last Game February 2017)
Derek Schubert 7 Games (Last Game February 2017)
balakus 6 Games (Last Game January 2014)
Feral 6 Games (Last Game February 2017)
Painlord 6 Games (Last Game January 2011)
(Unsurprisingly my online records are missing a few games but we'll ignore that for me)
I really miss some of these guys :(
Unsurprisingly there are a lot fewer GMs in my early history than my later history.

Interestingly, I've played exactly 200 sessions, that have been reported, anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple are missing. I've GMed 84, 3 of which are modules that count for 2, so I'm at 87 sessions towards GM stars.
For the first year I was playing Pathfinder, I was in a home group that played PFS with a core group of 6 of us, plus occasional others, just playing with whoever could show up that week. The two main GMs from that group are still the two whose tables I've played at the most, at 24 and 18 tables.
Third is the Venture-Agent at the store where I've been playing for almost two years now. He GMs almost every week, and I've apparently been at his tables 14 times. There's another GM at that store whose tables I've been at 9 times.
After those four people, there are no GMs who I've played with more than 5 times. That part actually surprises me, since there's a third GM at that store who I thought I'd played with more than that, but he's only listed as having GMed for me 5 times. I know I've played with him a lot more than that, but I guess that's mostly been with him as a player. It's just that he almost always GMs the last few months, and rarely plays any more, so I thought I was at tables with him GMing more than 5 times.

Best or most often?Also my data says Iammars is best GM. Hard to argue with the facts.
Both! One is my opinion but if you haven't had Iammars run a game for you I highly recommend getting the chance to.
I wonder if this data isn't counting each GM though. I know there is someone listed several times as GMing but I can't find them on the filter.

Anybody else have any interesting anecdotes from their stats?
I apparently play with a lot of high-star GMs. Ò¿Ó
Top 6 GMs: 5 Star, 4 Star, 5 Star, 5 Star, 5 Star, 5 Star...It would be interesting to extract the data between these and the reporting data. When I was a store coordinator I felt it was my job more to facilitate games than GM them myself (one GM can burn out, but a group of GMs is pretty self-perpetuating if done right). It's unfortunate that with the current system there's not an effective way to really track that effort rather than just the # of GM stars (which to be fair, may be by design).
I really should have tracked my GMs on my "played" spreadsheet... ah well...

Played stats... 322 games and counting!
Top 3 GMs (of 28)
(50) Coraith
(39) Glav
(20) Kigvan
Top 3 Characters played
(38) Little Rukk - lvl 9 goblin
(32) Rukk - lvl 18 barbarian
(22) Hale - lvl 17 druid
Top 3 factions represented
(45) Shadow Lodge
(38) Grand Lodge
(38) the EDGE
Bonus stats:
Characters dead: 1
Less than 2 prestige (but this counts slow track as well...): 44
My top 3 GMs are all locals, and I think are all 5 star GMs (or soon to be). Either way, they run a good table--happy they're my top 3.
I'm surprised that neither of my two highest level characters were the most played. But I guess that slow tracking a character from like level 2 onwards will do that to you.
I'm also surprised that despite being a retired faction, Shadow Lodge is still my most played. I guess I just had a ton of Shadow Lodge PCs before it was axed.

I love it in general - it's a great improvement - but there are still a few bugs. Mind you, there aren't as many as when it was first released - things seem to be improving fairly rapidly.
The first thing I did, a few days ago, was to try to check how many specials I had run. At the time that didn't work quite right - if you selected scenarios by name it only showed you the session where you'd taken a chronicle, and didn't show you tables where you hadn't specified a character number. That got fixed pretty fast, though - it's working now!
Now there's a different problem - the list of scenarios in the left pane is incomplete. I'm only seeing about half my tables there (47 out of 92). At present I haven't come up with a theory as to just what is causing this - it doesn't seem to be correlated with anything obvious.
Then there are a couple of minor annoyances; the character number doesn't show up in the GM listing, and there are no <<first<prev|1|2|3|next>last>> links at the bottom of the page.

I continue to be impressed at how well Endgame spreads the GMing load around. Out of 68 RPG games played over the last 13 months:
Dennis Muldoon (6) (this also includes some home games)
Fiasko (5)
Holognome (4)
Nicholas Flitter (4)
Yasumoto (3)
roysier (3)
Ms. Gnom de Plume (3)
Livret (2)
Doug Hahn (2)
thistledown (2)
BeanBean (2)
isaac (2)
Jamesui (2)
Moonstear (2)
Saint Bernard de Clairveaux (2)
and over twenty GMs I've played with once.
There's a little bit of funkiness with the numbers (I know I have more reported games with thistledown), but the point stands. Well done, Bay Area!

Very interesting. I could have sworn I had played more with Ascalaphus as GM.
House of Harmonius Wisdom appears to be my most GMd scenario (damn you Paizocon), followed by the Disappeared <3

Wow that is a large number of GMs. In my area there is about 10.

Interesting how my most GM'ed person isn't even part of my main lodge. The five below that are pretty nearly tied. And similarly, Ascalaphus shows up much less than I expected.
Also, 91 tables GMed, 101 GM credits.

Not all those people play at the same store (Holognome, for example, is someone I've only played with at cons), but yeah. The main store that I play at runs four tables a week, but also has an "Everyone GMs" culture, so the work gets spread around pretty evenly. As I recall, I played there for several months before seeing my first repeat GM.

Credit where credit is due -- Well done, Endgame!
I often hold Endgame up as a good example to other store coordinators; they get about 40% more GM participation out of their player pool. If we could manage to get the area average even part-way up to their levels we wouldn't have to spend time hunting for GMs for conventions (or even game nights). We're working on ways to achieve that.

Interesting...
my top 10 are:
Leg o' Lamb (27)
MisterSlanky (19)
Ryan Blomquist (16)
Andrew Christian (14)
Andrew Torgerud (14)
Wilmannator (14)
graypark (10)
Keith Apperson (10)
Paul Rubenis 210 (8)
sveden (7)
With a lot of folks that are at 4-6 games each. That's out of 283 sessions (Leg o' Lamb, you slacker! Can't even hit 10% of my games!)

Since the first game of pathfinder I played four years ago, I have played 66 sessions under 25 GMs. I only played under nine of those GMs more than once, and only under three of them more than five times.
In that same time I have run 158 reported sessions (approximately 10-15 unreported), for 185 tables of credit (reported). My most run scenario is currently The Traitor's Lodge, which I will always be willing to run at the drop of a hat. I have thrown my voice out for that scenario no less than 8 times now, and I would happily do it again.
Amusingly, the further the date moves from my introduction into organized play, the less I sit as a player and the more I sit as a GM. Not that I'm opposed to this, or that it was unsuspected, I tend to enjoy GMing more, and I GM'd exclusively before getting into organized play.
I used a spreadsheet to break down the exact number of players reported for each of my tables as well:
6 tables of 3 players.
16 tables of 4 players.
29 tables of 5 players.
83 tables of 6 players.
24 tables of 7 players.
I'd love to be able to get table size comparisons for other areas. I know ours tend to skew high.

This sounds interesting.

10t Bristor (3)
10t Carnithia (3)
10t Drizzt1080 (3)
10t Silver-Hawk (3)
10t Tobi, The Masked One (3)
I've played a total of 145 times. So Iammars is my best and most played under GM. She's an amazing GM. I've missed all the Prestige twice, and missed a point of prestige additional 6 times.
Top 3 Characters
1 Holden Kane/ Holden (23)
2 Vance Caster/ Vance (19)
3 Baron Marcell (12)
Top 3 Factions
1 Silver Crusade (30)
2 Taldor (29)
3 The Exchange (24)
Of course it's also currently saying I GMed 317 tables, which I think is including the 81 tables of card games, so I'm sure some kinks need to be ironed out.
