Das Portal-Forum pr?sentiert: Let's Play Your Co-op Map
Ich weiss ja nicht, wie es euch geht, aber ich bin immer stolz, wenn jemand eine Map spielt, die ich erstellt habe.
Diese Chance wollen wir jetzt jedem von euch geben, und das ist einer der Gr?nde, warum wir diese Aktion ins Leben gerufen haben. (Ein anderer Grund ist, dass uns langsam die Co-op Maps ausgehen, die wir zusammen zocken k?nnen, und Nachschub brauchen! 
)
Schickt uns eine selbst erstellte Co-op Map f?r Portal 2, die wir dann vor laufender Kamera spielen, dabei live kommentieren und das Ergebnis hinterher auf Youtube ver?ffentlichen. So kann jeder eure Map sehen und belustigt dabei zuschauen, wie wir kl?glich scheitern. 
REGELN
* Ihr d?rft die Map nur als .bsp oder als .vmf einsenden, wir nehmen keine .vpk Dateien an!
* .bik Dateien, die zur Map dazu geh?ren, sind erlaubt.
* Damit wir die Map zu zweit zocken k?nnen, d?rft ihr nur Co-op Maps einsenden, keine Einzelspieler-Maps!
* Es muss sich um eine R?tsel-Map handeln! Wir spiele keine Wettkampf- oder Geschicklichkeits-Map! (Kleinere Geschicklichkeitseinlagen sind okay, aber der R?tsel-Anteil muss deutlich ?berwiegen.)
* Ihr m?sst die Map vorab testen und euch zu 200 % sicher sein, dass sie schaffbar ist!
* Die Map darf bisher noch nicht ver?ffentlicht sein. Ihr d?rft eure Map aber gleichzeitig bei uns einsenden und im Internet ver?ffentlichen.
* Wir sind nicht verpflichtet, jede Map zu spielen.
Wie umfangreich ihr die Map gestaltet und welche / wie viele Test-Elemente ihr einsetzt, bleibt euch ?berlassen.
Einen Einsendeschluss gibt es vorerst nicht, aber es kann sein, dass wir in ein paar Monaten mal sagen: "Schluss, ab jetzt bitte keine Maps mehr einsenden!"
Ob es Sachpreise gibt und wenn ja, was f?r welche, steht auch noch nicht fest - aber sind Preise nicht sowieso eher nebens?chlich? Es z?hlt in erster Linie der Spass, und der ist bei Portal immer vorhanden! 
Schickt eure Maps an portal-forum@st-gerner.de
Also, wir freuen uns auf eure Maps!

The German Portal-Forum presents: Let's Play Your Co-op Map
Create your own Portal 2 Co-op Map and send it to us. We will play and comment your map in front of a camera. The video will be uploaded on Youtube, so the whole world can see your map and laugh about our epic fails.
RULES
* You may only send in your map as a .bsp or .vmf file, but we don't accept .vpk files!
* You may attach one or more .bik files to the map.
* Because we want to play your map together, you may only send in Co-op Maps, no Singleplayer Maps!
* It must be a puzzle map! We don't play racing maps or "Jump'n'Runs". (There may be parts that recommend some skills, but the focus must lie on puzzles.)
* You have to test your map before sending it in, and you have to be 200 % sure that it is possible to reach the goal.
* The map has to be unreleased yet, but you may send in a new map to us, and release it at the same time.
* We don't have to play every map.
It doesn't matter how big your map is and how many / which test elements are used.
There's no closing date yet, but maybe in a few month, we will say: "Stop sending in maps now!"
We don't know if there will be any prices - but prices are not so important. The fun should stand in the foreground, and Portal is always fun!
Send your maps to portal-forum@st-gerner.de
We're now looking forward to your maps!
What about MapPacks? Would you accept those?

or you could do that with the hundreds of maps currently available here...
because i just don't see anyone spending their time building a map for the only purpose of having you film yourself playing it...
because i know i sure haven't heard of ya
@ MasterLagger: Yes, MapPacks are okay.
@ rellikpd: We have already played almost every good Co-op map from your database (we have played nearly every day, for more than 1/2 year), and now we need a new challenge.
And we're unknown yet, that's true - but everyone needs a first project to start with. 
That's quite harsh rule I must say. Making a map can be a long process and not being allowed to upload it anywhere else would be too much. There are also Portal 2 custom map Let's Play:ers who don't have this kind of demands so you are pretty much underdogs in this situation.
We made this rules because we want to play maps, that are new to us. But after talking with my co-op partner, we'd say:
You mustn't send in maps, that have been released yet, because we have already played nearly every good map that's in your database.
But when you create a new map, you can send it to us, but you can also release it here (or somewhere else in the internet).
Soooooo.......if youre playing every map on the database anyhow, why bother sending them in to you?
I think in terms of boolean variables. Generally, it makes things easier.
You mustn't send in maps, that have been released yet, because we have already played nearly every good map that's in your database.

Waddle Dee facepalm!
Couldn't you just keep downloading the Co-op maps here? I mean, there is no real contest unless someone wins something or has their map declared the best.

Sounds like a very cheap kind of surreptitious advertising for a forum.
