Can a player rejoin a Pitboss game after being kicked?

[J_H_R]

(Sorry for cross posting -- I put this in bug reports, but this is specific to multi-player, so am posting here, as well.)

I am hosting an 8 player Pitboss game.

History: We ran into a bug where neither of two players in a state of war with one another could submit their turns. Another host had run into the same bug and had resolved it by kicking the two players, and letting A.I.'s run a turn for the two players.

Problem: I did this, and the turn advanced. Now, when I load the game in Pitboss, the players' slots are taken by the A.I., and it is not clear to me how the players can now rejoin.

Has anyone else kicked players in pitboss, and had players join in their place?

Thanks for any hints!!

When they try to join, they can take over an AI's slot. So the answer to your question is yes.
