Comment (by teor):
How about:
{{{
log_warn(LD_GENERAL, "Your system clock has been set back in time. "
"Tor needs an accurate clock to know when the consensus "
"expires. You might have an empty clock battery or bad NTP
"
"server. Clock time is %s, state file time is %s.",
now_str, last_written_str);
}}}
(I simplified the language a little.)
