[Shaun]

Just the one member needed before I can start with this :spin2: if there're more than necessary then members can double up and still get a country!

[Iceman]

Just add Nathan

[Shaun]

24 members now so that means one per country - but I'm still gonna accept double-ups. If you want your name read out by me in a sexy voice then this is your final warning :pipe:

[Drew.]

[seanraff07]

[Shaun]

All added - I know I've said it a lot in this thread but I really need to close this and do this tonight now :joker: so I 100% will do it later, and am now bumping it for any on-season members who wish to take part :)

[joeysteele]

Yes for me please.

[Shaun]

OK so for the 36 names I have so far, I've done the following.

- I've randomised the 24 countries so that I can have the first (currently) twelve that will have two members represented. The remaining will just have one unless more members sign up for the game.
- I'll then randomise the 36 (currently) members - #1-#24 will be allocated the country that corresponds with their number, and then #25 will be given country #1, member #26 goes to country #2, and so on...

So, with that in mind, the order of the countries is:

France
Ireland
Portugal
Croatia
Albania
Hungary
Romania
Italy
England
Germany
Spain
Denmark
Belgium
Wales
Switzerland
Iceland
Slovakia
Turkey
Sweden
Austria
Ukraine
Poland
Northern Ireland
Czech Republic

And the bolded twelve will have two members each :)

[Shaun]

I couldn't be arsed doing a video bc of obvious reasons so I'll just reveal the results one at a time.
