The Map in Relation to "D12" I was just thinking about this, I remember having this road map atlas of the united states a few years ago, and the maps had grids over-laying them, and across the tops of the map there was a number for each block of the grid, and along the side of the maps there were letters in alphabetical order.
I'm not sure if anyone else knows what I'm talking about, but I'm going to try and find a picture.
EDIT:
Found a picture

As far as i know, the Letter / Number coordinate system is not absolute, and depends on a specific map. It is mostly used to help find a specific road like: page 20, D-12.
In most cases the grid is restarted on every page.

You may be onto something, and I understand what you're saying about the map coordinates.
If you could access a map of Wisconsin and see if there is any relevance that would be useful.
The biggest problem, and no doubt you're aware of this, you'd have to find the specific map that would have those coordinates (if that's what they are) and with all of the different maps out there, the likelyhood of finding the exact one that pertains to your theory may be daunting.
The D12 seems to be more of something that Mysterio is aware that Josh knows, and doesn't have to guess about--although I'm half-asleep and could be dreaming--though the top is begining to wobble.

Upload the rest to me using the D12 entry.
This suggests that in order for Josh to upload the rest of the book into the PDP11 for Mysterioso to get the codes from, Josh has been told to use the D12 entry point.. which after searching the net for PDP11 D12 seems to be an input/output access point on the mainframe that handles 4 bit info.. In other words, I think he is simply telling him how to upload the pertinent info from the book into this machine so M can see it on his end..
Why they have shared this info with us remains to be seen, but I cant find anything helpful for us yet..

What if D-12 is a room We know that there is a likely true live clue at Fergus Falls. What if D-12 is a room? Or a building on a map of the fergus falls state hospital. Like building A was the main hall, B may be a treatment area. Perhaps D 12 is a building and room. Just an idea.

Didn't M say that the thing that he was going to post was based on the code in the book? How did he get all of that from that small amount of code? Is there a way that we might be able to work out what he did and apply it to the map? maybe when we see the book we will be able to decipher it better with that code?

This is exactly what I have been thinking. I was also wondering if the D12 entry is something we should already be able to find - it does seem like a long time since mysterio asked Josh to upload the rest of the comic - maybe he already has and we can't find it (?)

D12 I'm thinking that the blacked out parts of the comic are part of a book cypher. D12 probably refers to what line to start the cypher on.

Talking of D12, has anyone brought up the disclosure12.htm linked by the game summary?
I doubt there is any connection but couldn't find any mention of it on the forum so far.

D12 entry So we have: "Upload the rest to me using the D12 entry."
"The rest", being the comic book, "to me" being Mysterio, and "using the D12 entry" (I'm going along with Melodyman) being some method/mechanism used to "upload."
I'm not computer savvy as some of my esteemed colleagues here, but D12 would seem to be something that Josh would have some recognition of, and know how to proceed.
It's been way too many pages, and my memory is glitchy, but has it been theorized that Josh may "work" as part of the team that is affiliated with the Rocket Poppeteers? Perhaps in the ARG reality, the team that is responsible for promotion? Don't know why I thought of it, but decided to share.

God i've been rackin my brain over this for ages. Only think of a few things D12 might mean
- Down 12 entries - Possibly down 12 entries of Josh's blog or start from the bottom up, might give us a clue
- December 12 - too obvious + coudnt find any entires from Josh on Dec 12
- D,1,2 - the numbers 12 are sequential, could have some meaning. Could mean D stands for 4 in that case it is numbers 412, any meaning anyone? 412th word or something
Jeez i tried

We've all racked our brains on this.
D could mean December, it is also 500 in Roman numeral counting.
12 could also mean December, or Noon, or the 12 zodiac sign (I have no clue which--don't follow that)
but whatever these mean, it is a way of "entry" -- uploading to Mysterio what he requested.

Im guessing that Josh has already uploaded this and M has a way of accessing it, maybe using STIES.
Its a long shot, but maybe using REENTER you could type a command in that will open this uploading area

The only thing I can find regarding d12 entry is a port on the PDP-11 that is an I/O access point for 4 bit info.
I like the idea that the D12 is some sort of access point into the PDP system. Do you guys think that the holographic cube device could have anything to do with it?.
If anything how do you decipher words into a map?
Has anyone done any character mapping/deciphering for this entry or the symbol on the map?

I was thinking this earlier today. I played around with the PDP-11 some more this morning, but wasn't familiar enough to get anywhere.
My dad used to work for Digital and worked with PDP-11s on a regular basis, but he's not into this sort of thing, and wasn't really enthused about helping me. I'm gonna have to try him again.
