Deep stacked in such a live tournament, if there are limpers already in the pot, I would limp in, because a normal-sized raise will just bloat the pot with no reason, but not get rid of enough players.
If I'm the first one to enter the pot, I will never limp. No reason to do so, you want your oppononets to keep guessing about your range.
NB: To be honest, this kind of limp/call behaviour at the beginning of small live tournaments tends to disappear. At least, that's what I'm experiencing locally anyway. The general idea is the same though, see a cheap flop if SPR is really high with speculative hands that do well multi-way. Don't get overly excited with non-nutted hands, but do try to maximise value (fine line I know, but that's why skill beats luck right?...).
I do limp much later in tournaments in BvB situations and 15-25BB effective stacks. But that's another strategy discussion entirely. But just saying, those are the only situations where I would limp first.
