There's been some discussion on how to do it, and some neat ideas for co-operative multiplayer have been thrown around.

I think being earlier in the movement sequence was an advantage, but not enough of an advantage to make it worth the handicap. In many cases, having a lower number didn't really help at the beginning, because of how the starting positions were arranged. For example, players 26-45 all started near players that mostly had a lower number, but players 46-53 started near players that mostly had a higher number. In the beginning of the game, it would have been much better to be #46 than #30, because of the nearby players. Towards the end of the game, it was much more useful to have a low number, because all of the players were in the same area.

What about simply shuffling the starting positions?
