This is how my game does it.
mob
    verb
        Who()
            var/html="<title>[players.len] Player[players.len>=2 ?"s":""]</title><body bgcolor=#00000 text=#ff0000>"
            for(var/mob/M in world)
                if(!M.client)continue
                else
                    html+="<a href=http://games.byond.com/people/[M.ckey]>[M]</a> <b>Level:<font color=blue> [M.level]</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;Admin: [(M.key in GMS) ?"<font color=blue> Yes</font>" : "<font color=blue> No</font>"] <b>Class:<font color=blue> [M.class]</font></b></body><br>"
                    usr<<browse(html,"window=popup;size=500x[player.len*85]")

also you need a
mob
  var
    global// this means all mobs will share this variable.
      players[0]

k, I'm not really using it(since you helped me on my own), its just nice to know and i noted it.

oh and you shant put your variables for that game(i know which one i was just playing it) because somebody could hijack the html...and set their own variables, even screw your GM capabilities, or re-program the entire game, of course temporary..

No, the global "variable" is just "used to force treatment of the following variable of proc as global".

var/list/players[0] //a list of currently online players
Game
    var/list/players[0] //a list of players in the current game
    verb //note: all players in the game get these verbs
        Global_Who()
            usr<<"<b>Currently Online (entire server):</b>"
            for(var/client/C in global.players) usr<<"\t [C in players?"(*)":""] [C.key]"
        Who()
            usr<<"<b>Currently Online (this game only):</b>"
            for(var/client/C in players) usr<<"\t [C.key]"


In this example, there are two lists of "players": one list containing all the players in the server whom are currently logged in, and another containing a list of players in the current game (this game seems to be seperated with several games which can be played inside one game).
Because using "players" for the global who list would automatically refer to "src.players", you can use "global.players" to have it use the players list for the server instead of the game.

As far as I know, setting "global" within a variable declaration has no effect.

Legend has it that reading the DM Reference will assist you to know ('global vars' entry).

Despite DarkWizard's way being right, it's not really the best way to do it. Why always keep a list in memory? And you're probably manipulating it on login and logout?
Anyway, my game uses (:P) : 
#define AFK_TIME 300 //in seconds
    Who()
        var/players=0,AFKp=0
        src << "<h2>{Players logged in:}<br>"
        for(var/client/C)
            players++
            if(C.inactivity/10 > AFK_TIME) AFKp++
            usr << "[C.mob.name] ([C.key]) [istype(C.mob,/mob/player)? "{Guild:[C.mob:guild]}" : ""][C.inactivity/10 > AFK_TIME ? "\red<b>AFK" : ""]"
        src << "Total players logged in:<font color=blue><b>[players]</font></b>,out of them <font color=red><b>[AFKp]</font></b> are AFK"


Complete with AFK player detecting. OR shall I call it, "AFK system", xD lol.
