Show us your Rings

[Anonymoose]

I'm not gonna lie, while I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get farther (though I didn't get my hopes up), I'm more disappointed in the overall final roster.

It (at least to me) seems like the selections choices were adjusted with respect to an even spread across region, artistic talent, and future renderability, which is economical and fantastic public relations, but leaves out a lot of really high quality designs I saw along the way (some in blogs, some in this thread, etc.)

Congratulations to those who won, at least! I just wish I knew more about these rings ... their stats, lore, and symbolism. Wasn't SE supposed to display your ring name and caption? Did they forget all that? We can't even see the stats! Never mind specifics, but just like ... a general idea would be nice.

I'd like what I vote for to earn my vote with its soul, not its appearance. The ring with the little plant bud really speaks to me that way. It's like the first seeds of rebirth... That or the Fenrir ring. I like the whole Fenrir v. Odin part of Norse mythology, and I'll really buy into just about anything that's black and purple at this point.

Still, my highest motivation for voting is the possible reward for voting... which rubs me all kinds of wrong. Come on, SE, if I can't root for a design by me or someone I know, let me root for something I'm invested in. Tell meh more.
