Not sure if that's the right way to approach this. In the previous example, I suppose that Sasaki could be awarded only one draw because his two "lives" end up drawing, but it cannot be handled the same way if the result are different (for example, starting as a townie, and replacing as a mafia in the 2nd life, like Chaotix in Lylat Wars). Anyway, like I said, games where players can replace after dying, are an oddity and special cases to handle in a statistical point of view. If someone has a better idea how to approach this, I'd be nice to hear it.
I suggest that when a replacement player had previously died in the same game, that only the first role is counted. I was one of the double-role players, and I personally always felt like my initial role was my real one, even though I played my replacement role longer. The initial role is played for yourself, the replacement role is played to keep the game enjoyable for everyone else, so the initial role should be the one that is counted.
