Well- This just proved the overall inteligence of the Spiral knights forums.
Gran Faust is not an egyptian word.
If you know anything about classical literature, Faust is the name of a german legend.
Gran means Grand(mother/father), essentially old.

It could've been that The Red Pyramid that took the names from Spiral Knights, not the other way around, considering how long SK has been in development.

Gran means great in Italian
Gran means great in Italian
Faust could be from a classic German legend and is it's protagonist: "Though a highly successful scholar, he is dissatisfied, and makes a deal with the devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures."
otherwise there are some other references

and that they stole the troika and khorovod and grintovec and jalovec and triglav and flamberge names from other languages?! they mean other stuff (troika and khorovod are russian dances, flamberge is a dance, jalovec and grintovec and triglav are mountians in the andes i think.) and did u know that they stole the words Spiral and Knights and Gremlins and Clocks and Works and Jellies and Slimes and Jelly and King and Haven and Arcade and etc???!!! (well, technically not for Jelly and King. its really royal jelly. Whoah! they stole the word Royal! AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!"

...this thread is real? Is it...really saying that the word Faust is a copywrite infringement to a 20th century author?
I'm trying to think of a proper analogy to this. Gimme a sec.
Okay, how about someone getting mad at Dominos Pizza for using an image of a domino on their packaging, and restitution should be paid to Fats Domino, the originator of the domino.
uhm,
Someone gets mad at a moose because their name sort of sounds like goose, and a duck should sue a moose, because a duck and a goose are the same thing, right?
LAWSUITS FOR EVERYONE. If you've ever drank lemonade, you're liable in a lawsuit to pay the LeMans racing organization, because of some sort of thing that I don't understand but will not stop typing about.

Yes, SK was released in April, but it's been in development since 2009 (saw this on Wikipedia, correct me if I'm wrong). Who's to say the author didn't play SK during the preview events, and drew inspiration from there?

They "stole" the concept of
They "stole" the concept of jellies from alot of Korean/Japanese games, and the interface and style is obviously a knock-off of The Legend of Zelda games.
Point being, even if SK stole names from the Red Pyramid, you cannot look at a single video game nowadays, and not see another video game/reference/allusion to another story. It is totally natural to bring in other awesome things to make an even awesome'r thing.
---
I suggest making this thread into a "where'd you get that name?" game.
I'll start: Sentenza means sentence in Italian and the description is a reference to "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." (as stated by the wiki)
