Problem: Card deck

Hi, just wondering if you had any solution to this problem, making a carddeck. Not that I want a card deck but it describes the problem.
first:
Say I want 3 strings with text..
"Hi", "Hello" and "Goodbye"..
Say that I have 3 players, they will get the text randomly, but the text can only be shown to one person.. uhm..
Say if player 1 gets the message "Hi", then player 2 or 3 cant get the message "Hi", they will randomly get either the message "Hello" or "goodbye"

Like a card deck, when a player gets a card the card cant be given to any other player..
Thats my problem, and I cant find a solution to that! :S

I hope this trigger is possible in GUI

ahh i remember back in grade 11 doing something like this for school
anyways, i'm almost certain this is -not- the best way to do this, its just the first thing i came up with so i'm going with it

a = maxcards
b = cardsleft
c = selectedcard
card[] = an array of sometype, with each element being a different possibility

Code:

b = a
for intB = 0 to (a - 1)
    c = (Random integer from 0 to b)
    //Stuff in here
    //Give card index c (you'd have an array of whatever (strings) )
    //in your case i guess intB would be not so high and it would be the player reference
    b = b - 1
    for intA = c to b
        card[intA] = card[intA + 1]
    endloop
endloop

again, prob not the best way, waiting for someone to come and put something better :p
