Wipe

When all 40 raiders, well now 25 raiders, run back to the instance because someone fucked up. The main source of these came from the player named Prurient.

One can rest assured that if there is a way to wipe in an encounter, CSM has discovered and performed it. A list of classic/common CSM wipes to encounters follows.

Note: Wipe is not officially declared until at least 3 raid members yell "WIOTE!!!"

General Phenomena

• HEY GUYS, THIS IS CODENAME, I JUST DOTTED ALL THE SHEEPS
• Healers running out of mana, presumably because they did not bring at least fifty Night Dragon's Breaths per Shadowalker's orders.
• Following a wipe, healers getting too close to the boss to resurrect dead players.
  • Whitemage has caused this kind of wipe in every tier of raid content to date.
• As Whitemage, turning on TriviaBot at any time, in any channel.

Vanilla

Molten Core

• Lucifron
  • Having a tank be Mind Controlled into a nearby pack of imps.
• Sulfuron Trash
  • As Mankind, Taru, or Cacophony, being *very* bad at banishing.
• Sulfuron Harbinger
  • As Fallen, pulling Sulfuron -- while dead. (Don't ask me how he did it.)
• Golemagg
  • As Rudger, Moofiring Golemagg while on the bridge to Sulfuron.

Blackwing Lair

• Razorgore
  • As Blackmage, Frost Nova-ing half the mobs that Jody is kiting around the room.
  • As the Orb controller, attempting to break the eggs while they are green, so as to slow down dragonkin spawns.

"THE NEXT PERSON WHO FUCKS UP, I AM GOING TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU LIVE,
COME TO YOUR HOUSE, DRAG YOU OUTSIDE AND FUCKING CURBSTOMP YOU!"

• Nefarian
  • As Stormcrow, talking to Lord Victor Nefarius with Turn-In enabled, particularly when the raid is most assuredly not-ready.
  • As Vrak, healing so much that you're pulling aggro on newly-spawned mobs. Hrangar would never make such a mistake.

Zul'Gurub

• High Priestess Mar'li
  • As a full raid of CSM mains, pulling the boss.
• Jin'do the Hexxer

• C'Thun
  • Running circles through the raid on phase one because you're Ell or Mwallace and Shadowalker didn't RP the encounter with you.
  • Running circles through the raid on phase one because you're Shadowalker's coworker and Shadowalker didn't RP the encounter with you.

Siege of Orgrimmar

• Trash before General Nazgrim
  • A general strategy was to not save Gamon at all that way we didnt have to deal with any trash that would usually be skipable. A notable time was where Criptos would start that encounter but we'd still skip the normal packs and be forced into combat making the healers unable to drink for mana until everyone either wiped or left the instance. We ended up being stuck in combat until a random wipe on Paragon's of Klaxxi.
• Thok the Bloodthirsty
  • Mow raiding with pals guild and I believe a quote was something around the lines of "We know what we're doing" followed by "THERES NOWHERE TO RUN" while being fixated.
