Among the first of 10 inductees into the inaugural "OpenDominion Hall of Fame", [https://www.opendominion.net/valhalla/user/3615 Rush] is "a mainstay of the OpenDominion community who has carved a legacy uniquely his own. As a regular correspondent on the podcast "Riol Talk", co-host of the blops-focused spinoff podcast "Rush Hour", namesake of the blops ranking system "Rush Ranks", author of a series of "Round Fails" which provide a chronology of his realm's experience every round told in comedic fashion, and one of the head writers for storylines that take place within in-game Raids - to say Rush has left an enormous impact on OpenDominion would be an understatement. A mentor for many, and a massive presence within OD, Rush holds a special place as one of the most prominent community-forward players in the game."

Rush has also seemingly spent more time writing about playing OpenDominion than actually playing OpenDominion. That's the 'Roundfail' series referenced above, and chronicled below.
