Background

Each CD in the set is named after one of the original group members (which contain songs that they wrote/sing on), created by long-time Kiss fan Paul "DJ Flare" Hall and co-produced with Jeff Fura. In 1996, the 'KISS-Icons' logos were created by Ajax Garcia, a famous Los Angeles based artist. Garcia is known as a founding member of the 1990s punk group The Napoleon Blownaparts.[2]

gollark: - also the cubes, I guess
gollark: Well, various possibilities exist:- add "exist again" after "exit the zzcxz" - this could take you to a new area with more doors or something- somehow add a mysterious button on the wall of one of the halls which switches the door to osmarks.net mode (somehow²)- "go in an anomalous direction" (or somehow "go up"/"go down") in the initial room- in the bee room, one series of choices could allow access to it- the "sandy ground" area after going backward
gollark: Yes, that is what I was wondering.
gollark: Hmm, where would it actually go? I guess I could repurpose one of the doors.
gollark: Other osmarks.net server room™ possibilities: loud VRRRRRRRRR noises (unless it's liquid-cooled); blinky lights; maintenance robots; tunnels running to other places (with network cables).
