Vigilante
|
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 that a vigilante should kill night 0 and every night after. This topic is most supported by Pie is good and PokerFace. Pie is good argues that vigilantes should kill night 0 because statistically it should be to the town's advantage to introduce a random kill that cannot hit the vigilante himself. PokerFace agrees with this philosophy however does not like the idea of depriving good players of games they could have enjoyed. He has a set criteria for determining the night 0 kill. He'll only kill players with a history of purposely playing anti-town or a history of almost banable offenses on night 0. And if no said player exists, PF will hold his fire.
Pronunciation Controversy
