My two cents:

Surely the base insentive here is to reward the most stable/reliable BPN nodes, always online always processing transactions - without fail. If you have a flaky connection or are about to move house I would suggest you set up some proper infrastructure to host your BPN (Amazon, Azure etc...) The amount of money you can make from running a BPN will/could well go above and beyond a hobbyist crypto-staker and as such it would be inappropriate or unrealistic to think you could casually just run it on your old laptop whilst making a small fortune. - Aside from up-time and high reliability what about security? (physical and digital), what about backup and disaster recovery? - when the money gets serious the old laptop in the cupboard approach will not do, some bitcoin mines have diesel generators on standby and even employ guards to protect their assets!

If running a BPN is not for you then feel free to stake, it's not as profitable however its still free money

I like the idea of a limited queue, it fosters competition to "be the best", you deploy the most stable/reliable infrastructure you can muster and wait your turn, it might take a few months to grab a place in the queue but if it takes 4-8 months to be in a position to make thousands a day for basically doing nothing then I think I can wait...

This is exactly how I see it. I don't usually post here but I had to back you up on this. I find it funny that some people are saying that 12 hours is not much. Come on man, 12 hours is already way too long. If you're not taking this seriously, why should you deserve to be a masternode? Because you were able to pay 2000CBX?

Nah man, if you go down, you go down. You failed and should move back to the back of the line. I don't care if you were hit by a hurricane.
