You're running a situation you're sure will have the PCs at the ends of their collective rope, your BBEG seems to have the battle won, all seems lost for the heroes of the story...
...and then they come up with a strategy that leaves you wanting to bang your head on the gaming table in frustration, because they've just won the day.
Like a good DM, you arbitrate the situation as it should turn out, and the PCs come out the victors. You're torn between anger that they so brilliantly outsmarted you, and respect at their prowess.
Post all the clever, sneaky, or just plain crazy ways your players have come out ahead and saved the day, and the aftereffects of their plans. Heroic sacrifices, clever uses of spells or special abilities, and actions that just plain seem crazy but actually work are all great examples.
