Because town leader is a useful position for a townie, probably. I would have done the same thing in that situation, given the low playercount.
Also, if I was in scum!Manix's position, I would have bussed the Tailor, not the Interceptor. With additional control over who town's power roles target, that would be basically be a free kill every night. Furthermore, he was sneakily voting Excellen while kidnapped, which is counterproductive when he could have sneakily voted for a town lynch instead with no real repercussions given his situation.
In other news, I received a message that implied I was drugged last night (possibly harmfully? Manix should vote in case I'm blocked), and Haze targeted Rapier, so Rapier's role has been confirmed.
##Vote Iris
Pretty sure this is gg.
