Lets take a look at who got the most votes last lynch and which of those votes could have been seen as teammates saving each other.
1. Epignosis
DharmaHelper (2), G-Man (16) 10%
2. Timmer
nijuukyugou (8), Made (14) 10%
3. Metalmarsh89
S~V~S (13), HamburgerBoy (17), Roxy (18) 14%
4. Sig
Elohcin (9), Mac's Mom (10), Cookie (20) 14%
5. Long Con
Metalmarsh89 (4), Scotty (7), MovingPictures07 (21) 14%
6. Cookie
Epignosis (3), timmer (11) 10%
7. MP
TinyBubbles (12), Spacedaisy (19) 10%
Above are the top vote getters (at least two votes). In order to determine which votes could have possibly been saves, I will be considering the following criteria:
1. The timing of the vote
2. The vote's consistency with the players suspicions
3. Which players had similar vote totals at the time the vote was cast.
[EDITORS NOTE: RIght now, my main goal is to get this information posted. Once I have it all down and in one place, I will look it over and dial in on who exactly was being saved/doing the saving. I meant to do it all in one post but this shit is getting tiring.]

Lets Start with the
Epignosis Voters
1. DharmaHelper (1st Vote, reasoning
here) Definitely a civ. Moving on.
2. G-Man (14th vote, no discernible reason. At the time: Epi,
Cookie x2,
Long Con x2, Scotty,
Timmer x2, Sig x2, MP, MM, Mac's Mom)
Conclusions (And Read): G-Man's vote kept Epi in contention at a time when 4 other players had at least two votes. Unfortunate for a number of reasons, not least of which is that because there were so many votes for so many different people, it's difficult to say if G-Man's vote was in particular helping out a teammate. G-Man also gives no reason that I could find for his vote. As a side note, should G-Man continue the 8-Ball gimmick, I will vote to lynch him. It is not so much a gimmick as a restriction, and posting restrictions are what mafia do to civvies to cut down on discussion. Doing it to himself just makes everything more difficult for everyone. Sorry dude, better luck with your next gimmick.

Timmer Voters
1. Blooper (6th Vote, Reason given
here) At the time: Epi, Cookie,
Long Con x2, Scotty)
Conclusions (And Read): Light, blendy Day 1 content. Which is interesting given her comments in her vote post. For the sake of this hunt however, not likely to have been using her vote to save or help a teammate, since the only player in a lead at the time of her vote was Long Con, and her vote followed Long Con's Scotty vote, so a smarter play would have been jumping off Long Con's Scotty suspicion and Scotty's reaction in order to put Scotty in the running. Not saying this clears her from being mafia, it just clears her for the sake of looking for players who were trying to save their teammates.
2. Made (12th vote, Reason given
here At the time: Epi,
Cookie x2,
Long Con x2, Scotty, Timmer,
Sig x2, MP, MM)
Conclusions (And Read): Noteable for several reasons. Firstly, his back and forth with the other Timmer voter (Bloops). Playful banter or distancing? And unlike everyone else on this list so far, he is the second person to cast a vote for someone and give a reason for doing so. Unfortunately, he did both of those things in the same post. Made had been around and participating, so this pings me as something quite fishy, given his turnaround on bloop and his vote for Timmer. The pool of possible teammates is also quite attractive.
-----
MM Voters
1. SVS (11th vote, Reason given
here At the time: Epi,
Cookie x2,
Long Con x2, Scotty, Timmer,
Sig x2, MP)
Conclusions (And Read): Sketchy vote all around. First point, SVS spends all Day 0/1 talking about how the Epi/MP back and forth doesn't sit well with her, but she "doesn't want to commit" to it. I don't know if I've ever seen SVS afraid of committing to a suspicion before. Second point, SVS says she "doesn't want to spread the vote out any further", and then spreads the vote out even further. This is notable for two reasons: 1) Both of her suspects (Epi and MP) had at least 1 vote at the time she cast her vote. 2) Her reasoning for voting MM, which you can see in the link, involved MM voting for LC for "voting for someone for doing something they do in every damned game“, which is exactly how MM has been behaving. Bottom line, I don't think SVS's vote was designed to save or help save anyone who currently had votes (because both of the suspects she mentioned earlier at least had 1 vote, so it would have been easy to justify voting for Epi or MP). But her vote is suspect irregardless, and by extention herself.
2. Hamburgerboy (15th vote, Reason given
here At the time:
Epi x2,
Cookie x2,
Long Con x2, Scotty,
Timmer x2,
Sig x2, MP, MM, Mac's Mom)
Conclusions (And Read): Nothing really to go on here. No prior suspects I could find, and his reason for voting for MM was "to widen the tie". Lazy civ play most likely, I doubt mafia would give up such a weak reasoning.
3. Roxy (16th vote, Reason given
here At the time:
Epi x2, Cookie x2, Long Con x2, Scotty,
Timmer x2, Sig x2, MP,
MM x2, Mac's Mom)
Conclusions (And Read): I'm not seeing anything in Roxy's tone or style that is unusual for her. Her vote for MM reflects my experiences with her as a player and do not say anything to her alignment. I don't think she was trying to save anyone with her MM vote.

Sig Voters
1. Eloh (7th vote, Reason given
here At the time: Epi, Cookie,
Long Con x2, Scotty, Timmer)
Conclusion (And Read): Too early for me to put a read on Eloh, I tend to figure her out (civ or baddie) later in games. I will say that given her posts (in particular her interaction with Timmer RE: Epi being fake drunk like a big fat phony faker) lead me to believe that her vote was genuine and not meant to save LC, since if she was trying to save him, putting a vote on Timmer would have made sense.
2. Macs Mom (8th Vote, no reason I could find. At the time: Epi, Cookie,
Long Con x2, Scotty, Timmer, Sig)
Conclusion (And Read): Seems to be more of a character than a player. I am not confident that Mac's Mom would have the wherewithal to attempt a save.
3. Cookie (18th vote, Reason given
here At the Time:
Epi x2, Cookie x2, Long Con x2, Scotty,
Timmer x2, Sig x2, MP x2,
MM x3, Mac's Mom,)
Conclusion (And Read): This is a very different cookie than in Watchmen mafia, which I will have to keep an eye on. in regards to her vote, her reasoning checks out, but just barely. Self-preservation would have been easier voting for MM. Maybe she chose to dump a vote on sig because it would be easy to avoid explaining it to him, since he's not here. Voting for people who can't defend themselves is sketch. For the purpose of this exercise, Cookie's vote was obviously to save herself.

Long Con Voters
1. Scotty (5th Vote, Reason given
here At the Time: Epi, Cookie, Long Con, Scotty,)
Conclusion (And Read): Not a save vote, definitely a NO U. Scotty seems to have a good head on his shoulders and is doing some nice role analysis.
2. MM - Civ, moving on.
3. MP (19th vote, Reason given
hereAt the Time:
Epi x2, Cookie x2, Long Con x2, Scotty,
Timmer x2,Sig x3,MP x2,
MM x3, Mac's Mom,)
Conclusion (And Read): MP is not trying very hard, which I can understand. His desire to keep the lynch a tie rather than save himself is indicative of how invested he is. Not a save attempt vote, but definitely got an eye on MP.

Cookie Voters
1. Epignosis (2nd Vote, Reason given
here At the time: Epi)
Conclusions (And Read): Definitely not a save attempt. Significantly weak reasoning.
2. Timmer (9th Vote, Reason given
here At the Time: Epi, Cookie,
Long Con x2 Scotty, Timmer,
Sig x2,
Conclusion (And Read): Timmer is hiding. I don't like how he pushed responsibility for his vote out into the thread. He'd expressed interest in Scotty, and Scotty had a vote when he was about to vote, so that he'd dump onto Cookie, whom he'd never brought up before (I believe, I've been typing this all out for a while, I could be wrong) doesn't sit well with me.

MP Voters
1.Tiny Bubbles (10th Vote, Reason given
here At the time: Epi,
Cookie x2, Long Con x2, Scotty, Timmer,
Sig x2,
Conclusion (And Read): Blendy, low posting, not a lot to go on definitively. There were more effective places to put her vote for a save, and more effective places to put her vote to fully blend in.
2. SpaceDaisy (17th vote, reason given
here At the time:
Epi x2, Cookie x2, Long Con x2, Scotty,
Timmer x2, Sig x2, MP,
MM x3, Mac's Mom)
Conclusion (And Read): Not a lot to go on, once again. It's possible she just has MP on the brain.
