Don't Stand In The Stupid

Really, don't stand in . . .

Origins

Legend tells that the saying, "Don't Stand in the Stupid" dates back to the time of the Gurubashi Empire. It was first found carved into a tablet held by a dead troll surrounded by a pool of fire. It was unfortunately lost for a time, however, when the discoverer of the tablet died in the same pool of fire. It has since been passed on through oral legend, and has found emergence in common usage amongst the elite fighting denizens of Azeroth. Taken literally, the phrase "Don't Stand in the Stupid" means "Only a fool of the highest caliber would stand in that rift/fire/cloud/acid/poison and thus kill himself and subsequently his group." Repeatedly standing in the "stupid" can cause any of the following symptoms:

• Loss of life.
• Illness
• Death
• Removal from the Group
• The Ire and disrespect of your group/guild/realm/the universe.

Be a dear, and "Don't Stand in the Stupid".

Contribute

You may be reading this, asking yourself, "How can I contribute to this wonderful page?". Well, you can do the following:

• Add an image to the wiki containing a screenshot of the stupid from a fight that you should not stand in. Make sure you have the stupid in frame, and crop the image down so that the stupid plus a small buffer of space can be clearly seen.
• Add the image to this page in under a 2nd level heading (starting and ending with 2 equal signs) named after the instance of raid the fight is in, and a 3rd level heading of the boss in question. See Ulduar and Razorscale for an example above.
• Alternately, you can e-mail your submissions to Raajin and he'll be a good troll and post them for ya.
