GNDT Timestamps
The GNDT now includes the game year in all of its timestamps, which should correspond to the way that the sidebar's been calculating it (I'm using int(($day-1)*10+10*($hour*60+$minute)/(24*60)), and pre-emptively adding 310 if we get to January).
This means that we now have a definitive server-controlled record of the current year, so could start using it to determine precise ages and years, if we wanted to, rather than rounding to the nearest ten. That all Births will be timestamped, and if a cull of the elderly turns out to be slightly premature, the GNDT will clearly say so, when the first one's stricken.
(It should be easy to display Family Member's ages from their birthdates, as well, although I'll have to think of a non-confusing way to do this. I just could replace dates with ages in the "Members" fields as part of display, but it'd mean that you couldn't just copy and paste Members when you were editing them, that you'd have to change the dates back.)
