    Spent a while looking at this, perhaps someone could make a set of noob friendly instructions to get this working?

    This is still a prevalent issue....just accidentally kicked TWO people when trying to kick someone else. sv_status, get ID, sv_kick ....oh someone else got kicked. sv_status, get ID, oh someone else got kicked again...

    Just rip off GameOvermind's Overmind-Ids:

    Have an array of Steam-Ids, if a client joins with a Steam-Id not yet in that array, append it to the end. The array-index of the client's Steam-Id will be the client's Overmind-Id (or whatever you will want to call it for this admin-system).

    Clear advantages here are:
    * The array will be destroyed upon destruction of the Lua-VM (or simply put, a map-change), which means it will usually never grow past 100, so these Overmind-Ids will usually only be 2 digits, making it very easy for admins to type
    * The association between the Steam-Id and Overmind-Id persists even after the client has disconnected, so the client can never escape your ban-command (even after disconnecting and rejoining, the client's Overmind-Id will be the same).

    Interestingly enough, I put that in to work around the lack of Steam-Ids (in the Lua-scripts) when I first built GameOvermind, as banning by nickname was far too cumbersome, not to mention clients just changing nickname constantly to escape admins, I needed a number that remained constant to be used in admin-commands.
