Half-Life Fallout: HLF Portal 2 map contest! - Half-Life Fallout

By popular request, we're hosting a "create your own portal 2 map and win shit" contest, which is the most original idea ever for a contest.
We have 11 categories:
- Best overall map design (anyone can enter, except admins)
- "Let's all point and laugh" map design (everyone's map is automatically entered)
- Best crony map (only admins can enter)

The maps will be judged by HLF admins, so even normal staff members can enter the best and worst contest brackets.

In the every-man bracket, the grand prize will be one full priced Steam game for the winner, and one slightly less-pricey game for the runner up. The winner (well...loser) of the "Let's all point and laugh" prize, aka worst entry, will receive a handkerchief in the mail. (people probably don't want to give out their IRL adress, so let's make it one really really crappy steam game).

In the crony category, the grand prize winner will receive a golden Lamborghini, seven acres of land on the moon and above all, a lifetime supply of delicious onions.

Conditions for entry into this contest is that you must have been a member of HLF before this contest began, and you must submit your entry in this very thread before June 12th 2012. Bribes are accepted in the open category, and mandatory in the crony category. UNLIMITED ENTRIES PER CONTESTANT!

EDIT: The contest is now closed, see the results

A binary joke?

I'm currently having a problem trying to upload my puzzle. I build and publish it and it spouts "Failed to publish: error 16" at me. I've verified the integrity of the caches for portal 2 and the authoring tools and still nothing.

Just to make you angry.

Yeah. The workshop's getting overloaded with maps. Error 16's happened to me too a few times. You just have to try later when the servers aren't busy.

Aha! I managed to sneak my submission to the crony bracket in-between server hammerings.

Sink or Swim (or possibly Float).

That lifetime supply of onions is as good as mine! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

My entry:
Assorted Things

Here is my first entry, managed to upload it today.

A Binary Domain

*EDIT* I've fixed some bugs and loopholes within the puzzle and it should be on its final version. If anyone finds any loopholes remember to post in spoiler tags.

Hope you have have as much fun solving it has I had creating it. It took me quite some time, and you can finish it in no-time

BTW, can you make a map in our HLF Steam-community group so you can see all our entry's on Steam?

It says your map is no longer available, possibly removed by user.
What's up with that?

Also, I don't know if I can tie maps to a steam group.
