Schloss

"Schloss" is a name used to refer to Schattenmann, ruler of Schloss Eggenberg. Finding "Schattenmann" arduous to type out in IRC or the CN forums, Schattenmann defaulted to Schloss, the first word of his nation's name; however, while holding a PM conversation with Sword of Estel, the Lead Forum Admin, Schattenmann was forum-banned by her for no in-game nation match, without notification. About the same time, Schattenmann began frequenting coldfront rather than synirc, where many CN players confused him for a Valhallan also known by "Schloss." With his forum name change and new roles in alliance politics, Schattenmann began using his actual name, Schattenmann, on IRC and when registering for off-site forums; however, older friends, particularly Pathos and GOONS members, still widely refer to him as Schloss, because, after all that, it's still easier to write.
