If we notch up the hit on Sasaki as the third ninja attack, we have LG, Reenk, and Sasaki as last night's ninja targets (which would also make Sasaki not a ninja, and thus a bad lynch choice). That group is not a coincidence; the ninjas are now playing with us with their kill choices. On N3 the pever triumvirate, on N4 an entire group of high-profile players. This indicates a well-coordinated group who are paying a lot of attention to the forums.
On re-reading my own post re: Sasaki, I have realized there is a problem with it. I stated the above on the basis that Sasaki was attacked by a ninja, which would make the kills a coordinated trio of hits like in the previous pever massacre. However, as I stated later, the pever massacre included the 'messy' killer whose affiliation is unknown at best. As a result of this, I'm not quite as sure anymore that Sasaki's protection is quite so innocent as it initially seemed.

I recommend that whoever protected Sasaki contact CountArach and inform him of that fact. Under the circumstances, there aren't many good reasons for a pro-town doctor to withhold this information from a player who is stated as a pro-town player in the very rules themselves. If CountArach gets this information, he can simply inform the rest of us that Sasaki's protection was innocent and not the result of a mafioso power.

I still think it's a bad idea to vote for Sasaki at the moment, but his protection needs to be explored and we eventually need to get some kind of verification on this one way or another. The town needs to make sure this incident is not forgotten and if we do not see any info on it within the next day or so, pressure should be applied via votes.
