Once again, we will be at GalaCon - this is the info post concerning PlushieCon. I'll try to make it shorter than last year...
PlushieCon? What's this about?
Basically, it's ca con of the plushies, as the name already may hint
You may give us your plushies, and at Saturday evening, all those plushies will have their own con at the main stage in the main theater room. Last year, there were more than 480 plushies, 'twas a sight to behold for many of the visitors 
How can my plushies be there?
We strongly recommend a pre-registration under this link, this pre-registration has already been activated and will remain active until one week before GalaCon (until Sunday, July 23, to be exactly). Admitted, we ask for a lot of personal data, but we're obliged to do so by GalaCon - after all, we must be able to assign every plushie to its owner at any given time. Asking only for your ticket number doesn't work at GalaCon because here, one person might buy tickets for several people, he only as to pick them up at the entrance but otherwise is free to pass them further on.
We will, however, have a look on each registration. For obvious trolling, lets say, someone gives us this personal data: "Santa Clause, At the North Pole 6, 99999 Antarctica, mailto: santa@santahome.xmas" - well, such entries will be cleaned up from our database and thus be erased without further ado.
When doing the registration, you'll be shown some numbers and have the possibility to print them with a PDF file. Please do write down these numbers, print them or photo them from your computer screen - we will need them at the event for checking in and out your plushies, in any case, we will ask you for your PID number!
Of course, you may register your plushies on the spot at the event, but this will take some of your (and our) time, so we, once again, recommend a registration in advance. If you own more than one plushie - well, it's best to pre-register them all! It's no problem if you bring less plushies than pre-registered or none at all - this doesn't bother us the least. So take the chance and spam our database!
A registration on the spot should at best be only for plushies you just bought or for owners who just decided to let their plushies take part.
With your printed PDF file, phone photo or scribble of your numbers and your plushies you then come to us, give us your plushies on Saturday and pick them up on Sunday - and simple as that, they'll be part of the PlushieCon at GalaCon 2017!
We will not accept at GalaCon plushies that violate con rules (that means R34, gore or otherwise strongly disturbing plushies) and any random non-MLP plushies. At smaller PlushieCons, owners like to play the card "that's a changeling who has this form right now" - weeeeeell, maybe at smaller Cons, we can accept such a joke, but not at GalaCon. Here, we really will only accept plushies which clearly and recognizably belong to the MLP universe.
Liability exclusion: Taking part at PlushieCon will be, also according to the terms and conditions of GalaCon, at the plushie owner's own risk. We assure you of the best and most careful handling of your plushies, however, any liability of the PlushieCon team or GalaCon for loss or damage is excluded, save for cases of gross negligent or culpable behavior. The plushie owner accepts this terms with handing his plushie(s) over to the PlushieCon team.
The timetable.
Hand-in of the plushies will be at Saturday, from when the doors of the venue open until 19 o'clock. We're only closed during the Opening Ceremony. Hand-in will be at the desk right next to the main entrance - there will be signs both on Saturday and Sunday.
PlushieCon at the main stage will be from 21 'til 23 o'clock. There won't be a "stage program" like last year (maybe someone recalls Cosplay-Celestia who spoke a "saxon-accented English" :trollestia: ), we're not allowed to do so for legal and insurance reasons because at the foyer before the main theater room there will we the Gala. There will, however, be a samall opening and closing, and of course someone from my team will always be present to answer questions or re-arrange plushies for photos.
Hand-out will be at Sunday from 11 to 15 o'clock at Bürgersaal I, that's the room where the disco will be at Saturday evening
An earlier hand-out is not possible - sorry for that, but before handing them out, we have to sort the plushies by their numbers which they'll get from usw, and this sorting requires time. And I promise: there won't be such a chaos at hand-out as last year! That's why the hand-out only starts at 11.
Remark for volunteers: of course we'll see that we'll have some time slots outside of the regular hours for hand-in and hand-out of your plushies, too. We'll announce those non-public time slots in the appropriate info channels.
Security of the plushies...
... is guaranteed at any time!
Each plushie gets a "hoof band" with an individual number at the hand-in - if it doesn't already have such a band from a former PlushieCon. If so, we can re-use this old number again, the number will still remain unique.
From hand-in until hand-out, only members of the PlushieCon team have access to them, no one else - not even the GalaCon orga
During PlushieCon, the plushies will be in a secluded area, with the barrier lines far away enough so no one can simply grab a hold on them.
Hand-out will be under completely different conditions than last year, so some kind of "test" like back then won't be even possible again
And this, fillies and gentlecolts, has been the PlushieCon information post! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or the other leading members of my most loyal team - Crash Override and Lux_Pony will be happy to help you out, too. You can also contact us via e-mail: plushiecon@web.de .
At the end, once again the link to the online pre-registration of your plushies
