I have no problem with custom recips, but I'll bring up a couple points for you to consider before releasing a script to the general public:

1. Make sure the submitter can group the recips however they like. Different submitters like to group recips different ways, so don't lock them into some kind of default grouping. This will probably be your biggest hurdle to overcome as a new coder.

2. As Mateusz pointed out, keeping the script recips updated will be an issue...you don't want users of your script to start getting declines because they're using recips that are 6 months obsolete. Different LLs have different levels of tolerance for "old" recips after they've taken the time to update them.

Good idea. Should not be that hard to code a randomize function in by default or to say allow people to assign "Tiers" and then to randomize within those tiers. I've heard LL owners complain about always seeing themselves grouped with the same other LL on a recip block - especially if they percieve that the other LL have no traffic.

I'd like to see Tiers of some sort, a randomizer would make submitting a pain in the ass.
