Because I like to clean, some things. If you have objections or suggestions, please let me know. Otherwise, all this will take effect sometime after July 28th, when I get a chance.

We now have automatic aging for characters, so you don't have to remember to update your age anymore! A few notes:
1) The age of your character must be a number (no decimals) for this to work
2) If your character is immortal, you can change the age to "immortal" unless you want to track how old they are, in which case just leave the number to see how ancient your character gets
3) If your character is dead, they probably shouldn't be aging anymore, so change your age to "deceased"
4) If you have some weird slow aging or something happening and just want to avoid the automatic aging system, write your age out like "ten" instead of 10, and the system won't work for that particular character
All that said, please take a few minutes to update your characters! Additionally, keep an eye on them over the next few months to make sure the system is working, but so far it's been working in tests. I have it set to update on the 18th of every other month, starting with January (so basically birthing season). So it should theoretically update all your babies tomorrow if I didn't screw it up....I may need to adjust dates and such till we get it exactly right, but that's where we are at for now.
