A slight departure from my other thread.
If any of you have ever played XBox 360 or even PS3 then you will notice that when you play games and you complete certain tasks...you are awarded Achievement Points which help boost your gamerscore.

Well lets talk about your "WaygookScore." Imagine you could wear a nice shiny badge to compliment your big nose that detailed all of the Waygook Achievement Points you've collected over your tour in the Korea. Koreans could look at your waygook profile and determine what achievements you have unlocked while in Korea and of course the ones that are still waiting to be unlocked.

This would actually eliminate a lot of [Mod Edit] questions that Koreans have regarding waygooks. You won't have to answer "Do you like Kimchi" because they would see that you've already unlocked the "Eaten Kimchi and Enjoyed it" achievement for +25 WAP's. They would also see that you haven't unlocked the "I know DOK-DO" +15 WAP's and should feel free to ask you "Do you know the DOK-DO?" This would help eliminate alot of the bullcrap conversations you have in your daily life as well as help facilitate more interesting ones.


Of course eating Kimchi and knowing Dok-Do are very noobish achievements and have a corresponding lower WAP total than perhaps an achievement like "Passed Level 6 Yonsei University Korean Class" +250 WAP's

So for poops and giggles...lets make a Waygook Achievement List with corresponding scores. The Z-man shall go first.

"Waygook enjoyed the corn on the pizza" +30 WAP
"Mastered the art of holding a soju glass with 2 hands" +25 WAP
"Learned how to read 한글" +60 WAP
"Cleared HIV test (Aids-Free 외국인)" +40 WAP

"Weigook wears shiny silver suit" +30 WAP
"Weigook manages to order delivery, on their own" +20 WAP
"Weigook survives fandeath" +40 WAP
