Code:
mob
    var/player1 = ""
    var/player2 = ""
    var/player3 = ""
    var/player4 = ""
    var/player5 = ""
    var/guest
    Login()
        usr.loc=locate(1,1,2)
        if(player1 == "")
            player1 = "[usr]"
            usr << "your player one!"
            return
        if(player2 == "")
            player2 = "[usr]"
            usr << "your player two!"
            return
        if(player3 == "")
            player3 = "[usr]"
            usr << "your player three!"
            return
        if(player4 == "")
            player4 = "[usr]"
            usr << "your player four!"
            return
        if(player5 == "")
            player5 = "[usr]"
            usr << "your player five!"
            return
        else
            usr = guest
            usr << "your a watcher!"
            return
    Stat()
        statpanel("Stats")
        stat("Wave: ","[wave]")
        stat("Time: ","[sec]")
        stat("Door Life: ","[door]")
        stat("Gold: ","[player1.gold]")
        stat("")
        stat("Gold: ","[player2.gold]")
        stat("")
        stat("Gold: ","[player3.gold]")
        stat("")
        stat("Gold: ","[player4.gold]")
        stat("")


Problem description:
well I don't know how to do this bit I want it so when someone logs in there assigned a player (player1, player2 etc.) or a watcher.... I also want a statpanel displaying that defined persons gold but I don't know how to do that, as I messed up shown above.

Basically I want it so when someone logs on they are turned into a variable... well kinda. After that I will be able to display the usr as a var... if you get what I meen.

Learn how to use /list, seriously, it'll save you a lot of time.
var/list/players[0]   // Initiated list
client/New()
  if(players.len < 5)
     players += src
     src << "You are the [players.len]\th player!"
Small snippet of how I condensed most of what you mentioned down to a measly few lines
