anyone in player that isn't in alreadycp

That is what you are trying to do right

Pick a random player that isn't on alreadyCPlayers

idk why the hell you have weird variable names

Give me a second

I can show an examplr

local AlreadyCplayers = {}
local filteredPlayers = {} -- players table without AlreadyCplayers

for _, player in pairs(players) do
    if table.find(AlreadyCplayers, player) then return end -- check if player is in already choosen table, if so dont add it to the filtered table
    table.insert(filteredPlayers, player)
end

local choosenPlayer = filteredPlayers[math.random(1,#filteredPlayers)]

You have to make a new table

A list of players without the alreadychoosen

Then you pick random

lua methods are very basic javascript probably can do this in one line
