Yoshi autobugs me to post an intro about myself, so what the heck.
My name's Thels de Kwant, but some might know me better as either EasyWay (the nick I use on Battle.net) or Sir Galahad (the nick I used back when I was a proud member of Camelot Systems).
I have a mapmaking urge for a few weeks every half-year or so, in which I try to put some of my ideas into a map. The idea outflow from my mind demands more time than I can spare, tho, so most of my ideas just hit space.
I did make (and finish) one map that got rather popular on Battle.net, but some ***hole wiped my name from the map and thus no one knew I made the map (people didn't believe me either
).
I designed a second version of that map, with loads of improvements, but was a little wary about making it public, so I only played it with people I knew. That might've been the map's downfall, since I never felt the map really complete, so it never went public.
I'm doing a 3rd version now, and maybe I'll finish it.
PS. I just love putting my own stuff in maps. I did some War2 and War3 mapping as well (most notable one, a War2 map where dwarves and goblins could mine oil from oil mines, without the need of building platforms, fully B.net compatible, since everything's in the map), and worked on maps for lots of other games no one ever heard about, including non-RTS games.
Ahh, this is getting way too boring. Lemme end the post...

Lol, the word Kiwi just reminds me of someone with the nick Col_Kiwi, and I don't wanna eat a colonel 
As for help, I was just saying hi mostly, I think. I pretty much know everything I need to make the map(s) I have in mind, and most of the stuff discussed here I know about.
Then again, there's some stuff I don't, like moving locations around, but I'm not sure I need that.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I'm a Beta tester for the newest SCMDraft version. The programmer happens to be a friend.

Sorry, that is pretty much my automated response.
What was that map you were making that someone stoled?

Attached it. Didn't bother protecting it, because there are dozens and dozens of copies out there already.
Basically, there's a Blue Zerg to the left and an Orange Zerg to the right, Computer controlled, fighting each other. Once one of them has 1000 minerals, they hire a player to fight for them. Players that die become unhired, etc...
Red is a Dark Archon with mind control. Teal is a protoss Probe that can build. Purple and Yellow are hero units. Green is an SCV that can build. White is a Ghost with nuke silos.
