> Could you run some analysis on how often “p1” wins vs “p8”?

I checked the average finishing positions by assigned seat number from the start, but there weren't enough games to show a statistically significant effect. But I just reviewed the data again, and now with many more games it looks like there might be something there (P1 doing better than P8). I'll run additional analysis and include it in the write-up if anything emerges. For those who haven't looked at the logs: the conversation order etc. are randomized each round.

Oh, interesting idea!
