The problem is that each time the client gets assigned to a new mob it calls the Login() proc. Each time the Login proc is called your giving it a new mob to log into. One way to get arround this would be to create a client variable like this:

client
var/initialized = 0

mob
Login()
..() //let it do it's thing
if(!client.initialized) //if client has NOT been initialized
client.initialized = 1
//put switch statment here inside if statement.

The way I would recommend is creating a special /mob/new_player type (setting world/mob to it), overriding that Login() to choose a mob. Put your "Bibbles logs in!" message in client/New(), not in mob/Login(), too.

That would be cleaner. Then you could also isolate that process from logins that would occur from switching mobs during play. I can't believe I didn't think of that ;)
