Get the tigerman.
Because it'll be a member of your fort, but as it isn't a dwarf, but it does have [INTELLIGENT], it will sit around doing nothing but raising social skills.

Then we can have a Tigerman Mayor.

Have that in my current game.  I don't think that they raise social skills as their own skills become rusty (different languages?)  Still, I do know that you can butcher him if you want, which is a little....creepy.

Gives him an incentive to not set excessive mandates :D Also, welcome to the forum.

So wait... this is an unmodded game, with 15 years' worth of adventuring to create legends?
I may have to download and play it in on my own!
...and may have to sign up once I finish reading

Eh, more like 10 years of adventuring and legends and 5 years of fort, but close enough.

Was I the only one who actually did it in less than a week like we were supposed to?

There were one or two other people who finished in a week or so.
The problem was I was never strict enough to actually ENFORCE the "week to two week" time limit :P

This is an odd question, and it may seem out of place, but can a dwarf survive being bridge-a-pulted at a megabeast/forgotten beast?

Because I have a suspicion that that's how my dorf will die. :p So much to the point that my drawing of him has him being fired by cannon (creative license) into the sky (creative license) to combat a dragon. It's... the first time I've drawn armor that looks acceptable, or even OK enough to show to other people. I'm better at drawing strange creatures and machines (Forgotten beasts would be perfect subjects, possibly).
Speaking of showing it, I have the picture, I have the scanner, and... I can't find the power cord for the scanner. Won't work without that.

*Puts on top hat*
A dwarf, especially a sufficiently padded one, could conceivably survive that, yes. It could kill them, too, in rather a number of ways. The fellow's chances would be rather... ah... up-in-the-air, if you will.

I'm still alive. And currently playing the game. The tigerman is listed as pet/livestock, not sure if she'll end up socializing with dwarves after all. Is there some DFHack tweak I should do to her first?

Wiki says she'll socialize. Can you look at her skills?

pocket island, 95 dwarfs for now, food, shelter, plenty of stone, wood, not all workshops finished, no civilization problems (put only 1 in the parameters). pretty boring TBH, but it's the most longlived fortress i had
