History Awesome / Ingress

** Roland Jarvis's resurrection, followed by his WorldOfCardboardSpeech and coming up to the crowd to shake the hands of various Enlightened players, thanking them for their efforts.

* Niantic's handling of retiring the Guardian badge. Many players lost guardian to a "guardian hunter" 1-2 days before they would earn onyx at 150 days. Niantic retroactively gave all agents who were within 10 days of earning Onyx or Platinum the medal anyway.

* The Ingress Prime trailer. It goes through an awesome sequence of events, before ending with a silhouette of someone holding a phone while the scanner's beep plays alongside a wave sweeping the area.

* Project [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_3kL-xTfx7Dbnc7TBTBMbmmzJKzj1m7eKU0YGkoxpo0/pub#h.croahv5dormk Aurora Australis]] had 240 Enlightenment agents working for just over a month to claim a CONTINENT. Australia was held for 7 minutes before the Port Macquarie Resistance took it down.

* Summerbreeze 2015: The Resistance creates overlapping fields with the following anchor points: Fuerteventura, Kuwait City, Longyearbyen (Svalbard).

* Summerbreeze 2015: The Resistance creates two overlapping fields with the following anchor points: Fuerteventura, Kuwait City, Longyearbyen (Iceland).

* The Nashville satellite for the Persepolis anomaly saw the Enlightenment utterly ''trouncing'' the Resistance, having a field cover the entire city for the first two measurements. The Resistance managed to edge ahead a bit for Measurement 3, but not by enough to overtake the Enlightenment lead, ending it with a 176 point deficit that no one hoped to overcome in the last measurement (especially since their margin of victory in the third measurement was only 36 points). When it was over, even before the Measurement 4 results were known, no one in a blue shirt claimed that the Enlightenment were celebrating prematurely. [[BackFromTheBrink And then the final score revealed that the Resistance's fourth measurement performance was so good that they ended up winning the city by 62 points]]. Yes, this was an awesome moment for the ''Resistance''.

* The Nashville satellite for the Persepolis anomaly saw the Enlightenment utterly ''trouncing'' the Resistance, having a field cover the entire city for the first two measurements. Even though the field went down after the second measurement (and a DOUBLE green field went up and down in the interim), the Enlightenment managed an even larger victory for third measurement, utterly dominating to the point where their victory was all but certain, and green celebrations and blue mournings occurred even before the final measurement score was called.

* For a personal moment of awesome, getting the black "Guardian" badge (which requires that you own a portal for 150 days continuously), especially if players from the opposition are actively hunting it down

* On December 11, 2014, the Michigan Resistance linked high level portals in Chicago, Erie, and Sault Ste. Marie to create a control field that covered the ''entire state.''

** To add on to this, the Enlightened playing really well, in ''Detroit''.

* The Resistance of Baltimore and Indianapolis got one during the Helios anomaly series, when they were were being crushed in the primary site of Detroit, STILL managed to pull off enough of a victory to eke out a narrow win in the set overall and break the Enlightened winning streak.

* At Interitus, the Kansas City Resistance managed to pull off an [[https://plus.google.com/+Ingress/posts/MUJKqdwcH2j ''almost 10:1 victory'']]

** In UsefulNotes/{{Oakland}}, the Enlightened were outnumbered roughly 3 to 1, yet managed to hold onto the lead for the first two of three measurements. The Resistance then get their own Awesome Moment by making a comeback in the final measurement with a massive field over Northern California, beating the Enlightened in Oakland by a close 10 points.

** In Los Angeles, the Enlightened finally won their first anomaly event, thanks to several factors such as having global Mind Unit advantage and geographical cell Mind Unit advantage, both of which provide boosts to their score.

* Field art is always awesome and a sterling achievement that is the result of collaborating players. [[https://plus.google.com/photos/+TimBray/albums/5976736604242258657 Here]] is a flower constructed out of fields; notably, this was an effort coordinated between ''both factions''.

** The Cupid's Span serving as the backdrop for the final anomaly measurement--the three portals selected for measurement were ''right across the street.''

* Operation #UNIT8, in which Resistence agents constructed a link chain that ''encircled the Earth.''

*** That said, despite the field providing the Resistence with a point advantage, the Enlightened ''still'' won in points for the two measurement periods that the field was up.
