This name is a terrible snowclone. \\\"You Shall Not Pass\\\" is a line addressing the thing being \\\'\\\'stopped\\\'\\\', so the name implies that ONE attacker \\\"shall not pass,\\\" but anyone else is fine. But it seems to be that \\\"the rest\\\" is meant to refer to members of the party of the one \\\'\\\'doing the stopping.\\\'\\\' So what are they \\\"the rest\\\" of, and what are they \\\"passing\\\"?

EDIT: Actually, reading it again, I misunderstood it. It\\\'s not about someone stopping only one member of the party, it\\\'s about him trying to stop the whole party and one of them keeping him occupied. I don\\\'t think the name makes this remotely clear.

If it must be a snowclone, something like \\\"OneOfYouShallNotPass\\\" might be better.
