All players are identified 5 separate ways

1. npID/GUID/XUID - The ID corresponding to the player's hardware or forum account
2. IP - The player's IP Address
3. Client ID - The internal reference to a player, generated by IW4MAdmin
4. Name - The visible player name as it appears in game
5. Client Number - The slot the client client occupies on the server. The number ranges between 0 and the max number of clients allowed on the server

For most commands players are identified by their Name
However, if they are currently offline, or their name contains un-typable characters, their Client ID must be used

The Client ID is specified by prefixing a player's reference number with @.
For example, @123 would reference the player with a Client ID of 123.
