Summary0001250: The date in the announcement screen for Arena is not synchronized with the adventure mode date, and doesn't advance in Arena
DescriptionI've noticed that the date (normally in the 'z' screen) isn't advancing or staying in sync with the adventure mode. It seems like time moves faster in adventure mode than it does in Arena mode.

Heres two pics to show what I mean:

Steps To ReproduceStart arena, plop some critters down, do whatever, check the date in adventure mode and then come out and check the date in the announcements screen in arena mode.
Additional InformationThe strange relativity effect that seems to be happening here could also explain some display bugs with the syndromes.

The other bugs I'm referring to are 0000608 and 0000588 , I think this wierd time dilation that seems to be going on is causing those two bugs, or at least has something to do with them.

So..... nobody else has reported this? It seems to be a pretty obvious bug to me

Can Confirm still present in 0.40.09 and most likely in 0.40.10 as well.
