So, what is the scoop?

Looks like no maps for the contestants for TAR5. It appears that Bertram van Munster wants the players to communicate more with people.

HOLY! They'll get lost!!!

That is so unfair! Now it completely depends upon getting potentially faulty directions, so that it all comes down to random luck on who chose the correct stranger to get directions from!!!

And the language barrier will be a HUGE problem . . .

I don't like that at all. It removes part of the skill component, and pushes it more toward luck.

That will be FUN ! Can't wait !

If it is true, I like it. I don't think it pushes things towards luck at all; it makes it more important to understand the local population, even if you don't speak the same language. So there's going to be more of a stress on communication skills in the next season - interesting.

HOLY! They'll get lost!!!

Yup, that'll be a likely scenario. But then, it'll be all the more interesting...

I like it, after sleeping on it for the night.

Assuming my team is not chosen, I like it! It gives extra help to those teams who can actually treat the native peoples like humans and ask things nicely!
