I find that trickier to say than 'she sells sea shells on the sea shore' ;)

Since you had originally called it "The Thieves' Highway, an obvious name would have been "The Thieves' Age".

Except it wasn't it was just "Thieves' Highway", no The in there at all.

If you think it rolls off the tongue any more awkwardly than your current name then you really are blinkered.

Well I can sort of see where the longer name could have been inspired, what with current Thief community sitenames like Circle of Shadow and Stone (CoSaS) and Keeper of Metal and Gold (KoMaG). I really don't think it's a big deal. An apostrophe is incredibly diminutive and I think the idea was that this was the "age of shadows", with the idea of multiple shadow "beings" hence "all the shadows owned it", making it the "shadows' age". Whether the apostrophe is necessary or not is all in the way the creator envisioned it, and he has every right to follow his own mindframe.

I guess it could be argued that there is only one actual shadow, and light just breaks apart the shadows making them look separate, but really take away all light and there is only one main shadow... darkness. But I digress.

A name is just a name and I think as a mod team its just important to have fun and try to learn from experiences and take a chance at trying something that you like. I dont think the name or the mod needs to be flamed or overly examined. It's a mod, not a professional company nor does it have to be. Its a fan based idea and that idea should be able to be named whatever the owner wants. Refer to it simply as totsa or tsa or whatever makes it easier. But don't let it ruin anyone's fun or discourage them because of something so silly.

Just my .02 cents :erg: :)
