The vigilante is a killer on the town side. Depending on the variation, they may be able to kill every night, or be limited to a certain number of times during the game. Sometimes, instead of killing during the night, the vigilante will be able to kill during the Day, thus becoming a Daytime Vigilante. Typically Vigilante killing methods do not vary significantly from Mafia ones.
It is often argued (especially by PokerFace) that on Night 0 vigilantes should use their night-kill ability to eliminate any players that have a history of a purposely anti-town playstyle which can hinder scum-hunting. Players with a history of ruining games in terms of fun or almost bannable offenses are also acceptable targets on night 0. If no player falls into either category holding fire on night 0 can be considered.
Pie is good also argues that vigilantes should kill night 0 (and every night thereafter), although for different reasons - statistically, it should be to the town's advantage to introduce a random kill that cannot hit the vigilante himself. PokerFace's criteria for determining the night 0 target is acceptable, but if no player fits it, holding fire on night 0 should NOT be considered.
Pronunciation Controversy
Note: There has been some discussion as to the proper pronunciation of "Vig".
