In order to play a second game, all players must quit and rejoin the game
because the player offsets into the DB are reset to -1.  As such, it becomes
irrelevant whether a player can captain since s/he must rejoin anyway.

I suggest leaving the existing players on their own teams but forcing new
or rejoining players into FED/ROM.  Unless this isn't possible...
