Problem description:
No matter what i do, it gives everyone whoever logs in GM. It happens ALL the time. I do not know how to fix it

Maybe you should make some checks to make sure they are allowed to be GM for one.

key = {"Magicmann","Island"}

I'm fairly certain this does absolutely nothing.

Mob.key holds a text value, not a list. I'm not even sure how that compiles. In any event, those verbs are declared under /mob. world.mob defaults to /mob, which means EVERY player that connects is a /mob, and has access to all of /mob's verbs.

In order to do what it looks like you're trying to do you'll need to come up with a better system that involves adding and removing verbs that are held in container objects.

/* This list contains all the keys for your admins */
var/list/admins = list("Magicmann","Island")

/* This is an example of a verb container */
mob/admin_container
  New()
    del src //There should NEVER be an actual instance of this mob.

  verb
    adminverb1()
    adminverb2()
    adminverb3()

/* This shows adding verbs from the container */
mob
  Login()
    . = ..()
    if(key in admins)
      src.verbs += typesof(/mob/admin_container/verb)
    return .


Please don't copy+paste this, as it won't work. It's meant to illustrate a concept. If you have questions about it please feel free to ask :)

[...] I'm not even sure how that compiles.

That line is in valid syntax (read more), and what it does is set the key to the following text string:
Magicmann","Island
