So my favorite two experiences are:
1) I was ringing for Roman at one point. Murphy's was about a month or two old at the time, and we were either fighting Vengeance or Bloodline or someone else, hard to remember to be honest. So in the middle of the match I'm getting pelted by multiple AV, I do my usual retreat, shoot stuff and be a general slut, when I hear a buzzer go off. We're getting torn apart at this stage, when I realize that I've got an apple pie baking in the oven, and I have to apply the top of the crust. Torn between turning the battle or saving my pie, I go to the oven and pull out the pie, put the top on hastily, then put it back in the oven.
After I return, I notice Roman managed to pull the match back, so I go in and we win. The pie was delicious and worth it btw.
2) This was during the Dark Legion massive land grab stage. Basically what happened was they threw a bunch of attacks and got defenses they couldn't field, so they call FA in to field an attack, I was to be the FC of this fight. Ares asked if we could field an attack at 0100, but we couldn't because we had a fight at that time. So we got a fight at 0200 I think. After we get our match done, most of our guys log off, and I'm trying to form a team, with well over a half hour left to form, or so I thought.
I get the ferry in the chat, and I've got about ten people in squad and ready. I remember Shepard Commander, Ace, Hakyou and TTW being there. I'm trying to get some alliance guys in and I ask the ferry the ETA on the fight.
Ferry: It's right now...
Me: What?!!!! I was told 0200! We should've had more time!! Ferry, get aces squad and the other one in there now!!!
He gets them in there, I'm scrambling for dudes, getting anyone I can at this stage. I then get a sitrep on the battle from Ace.
Ace: We just got D, but they're almost in our armor.
Me: Oh god, hold up we're getting in.
I scramble a crap ton of guys to try to five cap the enemies. We manage to hold a five cap long enough to catch up towards the end, and I'm frantic at this point.
We have three points, yet two are going to flip. They have two, and one is going to flip. One null missile will decide the match. At the last five seconds I recall saying: "I swear to God if we win this, I'm buying everybody hookers". We win with one tick left and the energy is explosive!
The 16 Day Siege of DNS vs FA. Everyday FA fended off 17+ Districts against ERA,AE,TP until Kain realized that he would have to buy us into the Super Alliance... The greatest and most prolific time in PC meta... Still rolling in isk off that.

Covert Intervention vs STB, DDB, and RND
I remember when STB was expanding into the Northwest Constellation of the Eodulf Region to etch out territory for their campaign vs TEAM i believe. The skarkon solar system was all that stood in the way, unfortunately Gunfall was the only remaining corporation that held territory on SK 2. It's significant to me because it was the first time I was made FC, as well as given an active CEO role when Pryke Bastion had to handle RL. The experience was terrifying. Not only was this my first go into leadership, but we became the final stand for CI. OSG's districts were wiped by quickgloves and the had their eyes set on the last remaining district on the planet.
For one month I lead a vigorous resistance against STB and DDB primarily, winning most defenses by the faintest of chance and opportunity. It got so crazy, that I pulled in randoms from local and still came out on top. Quickgloves finally found out who was leading the charge and extended an Olive branch. The terms were relocation to almur for skarkon... I said **** that 
In hindsight, if I wasn't so attached to the concept of "Homeland", the veteran in me would have accepted the district switch that was offered by gloves in return to what was left of SK 2 D2. Alas, I was fresh noob, and chose the glorious option to fight until the last man....STB launched the following day.
If memory serves me well, the map the final battle took place on was "Iron Delta". A deployment of 350+ clones were dispatched to siege a district occupied by less than 200. I sent my strongest 12 into the city and went toe to toe with the giant that was STB. The fight was as gruesome as the many before, with STB gaining the upper hand forcing my men outside the city. With only the home point objective left, I had every man pull out of the city, with STB in full pursuit of a redline.
As the clouds opened up, a voice spoke to me as I emptied a magazine into my opponent... "Rabbit, we have an orbital!". 13 enemy units were killed on an open field as I had my men flank to enemy home point, while I lead the charge into the city, 3 capping enough to get the MCC win.
This underdog story, as glorious as it was, would only fall short two days later when all of three players would get a disconnect and boot from the Following PC. When most of us were able to trickle back into battle, we were 5 capped with less than 6 ticks left to work with... Thanks CCP =ƒÖä
