Thanks for the info Cainehill, this is good stuff to know.

Actually, it's not too late - you could scratch the Pandemonium2 game, restart the original, and use the passwords to set Agrajag to AI. Might be preferable to starting all over, waiting for pretenders to be uploaded, etc.

Right - I guess I just thought since we had only done the first turn, I'd rather have no AI players at all. Recreating the game wasn't such a big hassle, in this case.
Prior to starting the game I have several times wished to kick a player off who has uploaded, without signing on in the thread (this seems to happen a lot). If there's a player who has signed on in the thread to the same position, I wouldn't hesitate to kick out the player that uploaded without signing in on the thread.
Can I use the master password to close the position on the game side, rather than turn it to AI? Or is there any other way to force a player off or into anonymous status? IIRC, I think I've tried using the mosehansen game options page to close the position, but that didn't seem to work.
EDIT:
One thing I think I'll do in all future games is use the comment field to make it clear that players need to go to the forum signup thread before uploading.
To this end, it would be helpful to have an additional field in the game view/manage page for the signup thread URL.
