Jack, yes. It's quite possible that "Sauron's ultimate ability bypasses everything," but why isn't this mentioned in the rules? The rules state the following: Sauron has a special ability called "Staff of Darkness," which allows him to ignore any protection. In the game "Mafia," protection refers to a player's inherent ability (role) to prevent negative actions or a "protection" action directed at that player by another player. A "protection" action can be one of the following:
1) The player using this action dies instead of the player targeted by the action.
2) Instead of the player targeted by the action, the attacker dies.
3) The negative action simply has no effect.

Please add to the list if I've missed anything, or correct me if I'm wrong.

There are other types of actions. For example: block, kill, HEAL, etc. So, block is not the same as protection, kill is not the same as protection, and healing is not the same as protection. Therefore, the healing action that the Ancient used tonight should have worked.

Jack, because of your mistake, the outcome of the game is being decided. In this case, it's the town. Of course, the town can still win. But if it weren't for your mistake, Frodo would be alive, and Sauron would be dead. You are personally depriving me of victory, judging by the votes against me right now. If the healing action that SHOULD HAVE WORKED had worked, Sauron would be dead, and everyone would know it wasn't me. Why are you depriving me of the opportunity to play a great game because of your mistake? Or do you think it's easy to figure out who Frodo was? The Ancient made a move that gave the town the best chance. And you, by changing the rules retroactively (?), or interpreting them as you see fit, are depriving the town of its best chance of winning.

Sincerely,
Gur
