N00best Moments Contest
So there we are at the guild party, and Sabetha declares that there will be contests. One of these is the n00best-moment-since-becoming-an-experienced-raider contest. We begin with the usual stories: soulstoning the wrong target, falling off elevators, blinking into a raid boss and wiping the raid... so on and so forth. However, there were a few clear winners:
How Priestn00b Became Ambassador to the Horde
We finally defeated that bum Anetheron (second boss of Mount Hyjal) for the first time ever. Some of us stayed on the hill and watched the Legion destroy the Alliance encampment, the miners went to collect our gems, and the rest of us went off to look at the Horde encampment, which we'd never seen before (well, except those of us who had played Warcraft III, and we were even more excited about it than everyone else).
Priestn00b rode straight up to Thrall, and next thing you know, our raid-assist mods announced an incoming wave of ghouls, abominations, banshees, and necromancers. There's no way out of the instance except a portal, summons, or hearthstone, so the Legion had hunted us all down and killed us by the time the third wave spawned.
The Way to a Boss' Heart is through his Stomach
N00bymage was leveling up and ran Deadmines in the usual fashion. The party makes it all the way down to Van Cleef and engages him. N00bymage went to spam firebolt and eventually noticed a lack of fiery animation and damage to the boss. She looked down, and realized that she was hitting the wrong button and that she had conjured 10 stacks of bread instead.
Practice Makes Perfect
Warn00b had finally farmed up enough points to buy his season 2 mace to provide his 2v2 arena team with some bonus crowd control. Chuckling gleefully, he headed in to smack the opposition about the head. Somehow, it didn't work. Eight losses, two wins later, he and his irate partner crept away, and Warn00b went to Nagrand to farm ore. A level-64 earth elemental tried to fight with him over an adamantite node and he absent-mindedly swatted at it with his new mace, having forgotten to re-equip his sword. A message flashed across his screen "Your skill in two-handed maces has increased to 2."
Here's Jive's side of the story.
Obviously, names have been changed to protect the guilty. Yes, it was that kind of a guild party.

Ha ha, those are pretty good. Allow me to submit one of my own...
noobLock (whom shall remain nameless /shame) was very eager to join his new guild on an Upper Black Rock Spire run. After countless battles, we finally manage to clear most of the mobs and are edging our way towards the final boss. NoobLock tabs through the mobs casting curses gleefully when suddenly he notices that nothing is happening when he's casting his curse. Two minutes later the entire raid is swarmed with all kinds of ogres and orcs and worgs from behind, seemingly from nowhere.
NoobLock had targeted a mob from Lower Black Rock Spire who decided to visit Upper Black Rock Spire with 40 of his closest friends.Posted August 19, 2008 at 01:37 AM by Pernicious

I remember quite clearly my first run of Wailing Caverns. I was still very much getting used to the game, and figuring out my abilities. I still had no idea what this soulshard business was, the tooltip made no sense to me yet
Anyways, we start grinding through, and eventually we come to a wipe. One of the dps, think it was a war, said - Plz tell me we have a ss? I had no idea what he was talking about, so I said nothing. The healer said no, and then I got slammed for not soulstoning the healer. I let my noob show, and said I never used it before, I doidn't knew what it did, to which I got the OMFG.... response. So we all rez up, and I find the soulstone spell in my book, and make one (neat!) I then promtly clicked on it, and soulstoned myself.... HAHAHA
I'll never forget the comment afterwards, 'You are the absolute WORST warlock I have ever seen'Posted August 19, 2008 at 02:20 PM by Gallaira

Ok...I guess I'll tell on myself. We are not going to talk about Deadmines or LBRS (those are STILL learning instances). I got summoned into one of the Heroic Coilfang instances. Standing at the beginning, we are buffing as usual when one of my guildies noticed I had my fishing pole equipped. After a frantic search thru my bags for my Continuum Blade, and a trip to my bank on the off chance I had banked it, I realized I must have vendored it the previous night and logged out (tired? drunk? Who knows?) Fortunately, in my bank I had the Bringer of Death so I could continue the instance. And, since I had no idea you could petition for the replacement of a mistakenly vendored item, I made the trip back to the Caverns of Time, repurchased the blade and got it enchanted again with spell power. Oh the noobieness!Posted August 19, 2008 at 02:44 PM by Darinar

You guys scare me! The only way Amora or I could come close to the carnage wrought by n00block was in the good old days when Seed of Corruption penetrated walls, ceilings, and floors.
I also had trouble getting used to soulstoning other people, but generally, my fellow puggees did not deserve soulstones.
After two and a half years of disenchanting with no major problems, I deleted an upgrade this week. It was a PvP item, so it had to be deleted the hard way too.

I will add mine to this as well even though it is similar to one above(wait I have two).
1.) First Heroic ever(H. Ramps) we wipe on the last boss. Come back in we are getting buffed up, x-tank ss up? Yes, I will get it on x-priest. We begin the boss fight, we wipe. X-tank, res priest with SS I ran back you can res me right. Vent goes dead silent....uhhh I forgot? Oh well we had a good laugh about it the next day.
2.) Our guild vent rules are simple if you are in the lobby keep it PG-13 not a lot of swearing being annoying etc. So we have these two guys that we jump down there throat about vent behavior... Flash forward a few weeks, we are running a guild officers alt through BRD. Moved to an instance channel we were all of age in that channel so the more colorful language and behavior came out.
Me: Hey guys if X or Y guys that we ripped about vent behavior gets on this channel we need to chill out.
Vent: .........DEAD SILENCE......
X-Mage: uhh Abal he is in this Channel right now.
Me: uhhhhhh.
One of the guild officers tried to save face for me except for the fact he was laughing so hard he couldn't hardly talk. Had two officers in there neither of them could quit laughing long enough to defend me. The one officer put it as the guild message of the day for a little bit. So embarassing.Posted August 22, 2008 at 02:29 PM by AballahSon

Probably my newb (brain fart) moment was during Gurtog Bloodboil.
We were powering through BT and we get to Gurtog. I do my normal "nothing" until Fel Enrage and every thing was going fine. Keep in mind I am in the middle group rotation, so I always (almost) have bloodboil when he fel enrages and I haven't had fel enrage in quite a long time maybe 20 or so kills ago. On the 3rd or 4th fel enrage my Skull was on Cool Down so he fel raged on me and I popped my trinket w/o thinking until someone said...nice you mortal striked yourself.... =( Yeap I am an orc lock and my skull is macro'd to bloodfury. Simple brain fart but it was rather funny.Posted September 01, 2008 at 07:27 AM by Woonza
