The Settings for the Tests

These ideas will get further development, but I thought I'd give you an appetizer of what's ahead.

The Bureaucracy

This will feature hairsplitting bureacratic orcs who think they speak good English. Everybody's papers will be checked and rechecked. Orcs will, of course, say things like "nuculer", and "myself and _______", and will get easily offended causing the paper trail and red tape to take that much longer, government trying to improve people, queue cutters,
et cetera


The Road

Gridlock, road rage, flat tires, PT Cruisers, people are transformed into orcs merely by sitting behind the wheel, tailgaters, mobile/cellphone wielding orc-drivers, bad weather, fume and stench, heavy traffic, rising gas prices,
people always in a rush,
et cetera

The Town

Dogs wearing dog clothes and relieving themselves wherever, litter, cigarette smokers, cigarette butts, spit on the sidewalk, spitters, guys who proposition random girls, people who are easily offended, bad weather, chewing gum spat out & covering pavement, drivers who ignore pedestrians, fume and stench, guys who think pretty girls are always dumb, people always in a rush, the list is endless.....

The Hospital & Dentistry

Know nothing Mary Sue nurses, bureaucratic emergency rooms (with orc clerks), dentists, dogs who excrete wherever they like, et cetera

The University of Mordor

pretentious troll professors who speak Jamesian English, alarm clocks, early classes, frat parties, guys who think pretty girls are always dumb, people who say 'it's not rocket science',
final exams, and more.

Oh, and each test will have a deadline.
