- Added DetailedDescription to make creating multi-line descriptions easier. Not supported by the Look command yet.

- CommandRestart now checks to make sure the player is of Type PlayerAdmin instead of player.admin

- Changed PlayerBasic to PlayerAdmin for testing purposes.
TODO: Remove command execution from game loop, server should sit and wait for telnet data to be transmitted to it within the loop. That will be the command and passed off to the BaseCharacter/Player/NPC ect ExecuteCommand
