Yeah, it's a really simple thing that two of the guys I raid with are friggin' terrible at. Amazingly terrible. Horribly incredibly stupendously terrible. It boggles my mind, actually. Neither of these guys have ever raided before and they don't understand that they need to do X when Y every single time no matter what else is going on. Oryx is just especially unforgiving of their mistakes, and because any mistake = wipe, those of us who get it don't even have an opportunity to pick up the slack. And then there's annoying random stuff like, "oh, I jumped too high and the spaceship clipped my head and now I'm dead." or "the ogre freaked out and charged the middle so you can't walk on the road now" or "The aura decided not to protect me anymore even though I'm well inside of it."

I've mistakenly jumped up on mine before when I was confused at which point we were at. It feels great to be the cause of your teams wipe. :) We settled on calling out numbers "1, 2, 3" with 1 being the first plate, but the problem with this is if someone doesn't know which plate the relic is over they won't know who the numbers go with. I found it most helpful when someone (a floater?) would call out who was next.
