Among the first of 10 inductees into the inaugural "OpenDominion Hall of Fame", 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.

Round	Rush's Roundafail	Story Summary
28	Realm Roundwin - Gogo Yubari	Rush tastes early success, finishing 3rd overall.

34	WARFRAME	Rush experiences what it's like to be a draft captain after winning the popular vote in another catastrophic Draft Round fail (spoiler: it doesn't go well)
35	Killing in the Name	Rush goes into way too much detail about an uncomfortable medical experience, trauma-dumping on the OD community instead of writing a roundfail like he was supposed to.
36	That teenage chick with the snarky cat	Rush and Rio conspire to ruin the playerbase with blops, but instead a sleepy Jcinnz coasts to victory, confusing everyone.

38	All this from a slice of gabagool	Rush randoms into a mediocre realm and pens a half-arsed Roundfail. Nobody cared.
39	Dan was abandoned as a child	Rush is drafted by his then mortal enemy, DanTheMan, to be co-captain in another Draft Round Roundfail. It's another catastrophe folks!
40	Ghetto Superstar	Rush randoms again, and finds himself in a ghetto. With nothing better to do, he starts creating his own strange win conditions for the round - and still fails.

45	Dr Evil	Rush teams up with some OD heavy hitters and lands in a lottery win realm, resulting in 47 days of terror and lasers for the playerbase. It still ends in failure.
