I have a few questions regarding the culture/etiquette around the Warhorn signups. I'm in the SF Bay Area, if it matters.
1. What happens if players sign up for a game but no GM signs up? Is it assumed to be canceled? Do people show up and stare at each other until someone decides to GM at the last minute?
2. What realistically happens when too few or too many people sign up? Are there frequent no-shows so that waitlisted people typically show up even if they may not play? Are there enough people who show up without signing up that shorthanded signups should show up and expect the game to happen? Fundamentally, what percentage of signups end up playing and what percentage of players are signups?
3. Is there a place other than Warhorn that these things are unofficially organized or where it'd be better for me to post specifically about a location, e.g., Facebook group or some subforum here or IRC channel?

Hey, Watery Soup!
It’s pretty rare to have a table with no GM, but the best person to ask is the organizer for that particular store if you want to know what’s going on with a table.
If you want to play a game that’s full, definitely sign up on the waitlist! As long as it’s not day of, we can usually get an additional GM to cover extra players. A game that has too few players to make typically gets canceled the day before or day of.
There is a Facebook group that I can’t figure out how to link from my phone, but search for Oakland and San Francisco Pathfinder Society, or I can post the link later. The South Bay might have its own group; I’m not sure.
There’s also some folks’ contact information and a link to join the email list at our website here.
I hope that’s enough to start with! Looking forward to seeing you at some games!

Thanks!
I'll poke around a bit. When you say organizer, does that mean a PFS organizer or a store employee?
Do you happen to know the organizer for Ronin Games's Wednesday night game? That's the one without a GM next week.
Hey WaterySoup. You want the PFS organizer, rather than a store employee. There’s been a recent change in organizer at Ronin, so the coordinators page is out of date. You don’t seem to have Private Messages enabled, but if you send me an email (dennismuldoonpfs at gmail dot com) I can get you connected to the new organizer.
