Author on Discord.py

I'm to make a discord bot that when you do !join it makes an embed where it put 6 people into teams. I want to make it so when it gets the 6 it says the person discord name instead of "player 1". How would I do this?

elif message.content.startswith('!join'):
global lobby
if (lobby == 5):
 lobby -= 6
 embed = discord.Embed(title="**Teams in the 6 Mans**", description="**Team 1** nPlayer 1nPlayer 2nPlayer 3nn**Team 2**nPlayer 4nPlayer 5nPlayer 6", color=0x0000FF)
 await client.send_message(message.channel, embed=embed, )

You should really be looking at the commands extension and the rewrite branch tho

Using globals is discouraged. That said, to access the discord username of the message author, you want to use message.author.name

You'd have to store them in a list, the format your title accordingly. I'm not going to spoonfeed you code, but you should have a look at for loops there :)
