Thanks for the help and info, ladycfii. My farm did finally come in...20 years after planting! So, is that a record?

Lonely Malik, now 35, has been living all on his own for over 20 years, and has spent his time building and repairing huts, harvesting, and researching, and is now quite skilled in everything but breeding. That potion must have granted him some form of spiritual enlightenment, as that brave man works tirelessly, saving up food he doesn't eat for villagers who may never arrive. Either that or he's gone totally bonkers, and sets up elaborate tea parties for some rocks and dead flowers he's grown attached to.

Either way, I don't have the heart to kill him off, so I'm letting him live out his life on his private island in the faint hope that some miracle will allow the tribe to live on.
