But they might just as well get a payment at block 3000. If you're moving your MN's after each payment you will be at the mercy of the variance.
If I am reading things correctly, then while gaming the system, it shouldn't ever take your MN longer to be paid than the good actors *plus 15 blocks, but would have the chance of it taking significantly shorter(*at 1000MN, you could receive payment 985 blocks sooner.)My understanding is that the first payment will take as many blocks as is needed until it hits the 1 in N chance. This could take 1 or 10000 blocks. After the first payment, it will take N blocks to get the next one.

Each new node has a 1 in N (total number of masternodes) chance of receiving a payment each block
Correct. However, I'm going to change it to the first payment requiring confirmations > masternodes*90%. So if there's 1000 masternodes a new node will have to wait 900 confirmations to be entered into the lottery. Then after that it'll be 1 of N. All future payments beyond that will be on a schedule with -10/+10% variance.
Confirmations to start a masternode will be 15. You just can't get paid until much later. It should provide a good mix of security and stability of payments.
