No, Unassigned means AI players that have never been played by a human.
If you see usernames of "[G|g]uest[0-9]*", then you have humans who are not
authenticated. You should look at the 6th column to find out if they're
human or AI. It's a little tricky, because if a user disconnects from a
player, his username is _not_ removed from the player until another user
takes over the player. If you look at the row at -3900 below, you see that
kauf has actually disconnected from Hammurabi.

As far as different ports go, the plan right now is for all ports to be
authed. Some can allow guest users (who won't be ranked) while the regular
users could be, and some ports can not allow any guests.
