Should we also post who we think should be seered, guarded in every post? We can't assume our seers or guards are competent either. This strategy highlights vigilantes arbitrarily, and assumes that they have any reason to trust the masses more than their own instinct when the masses spent two days being wrong last game. Additionally vigilantes should not fire every night, and sometimes never at all. There are just so many problems with your strategy and you are so stubbornly and emotionally attached to it that most aren't willing to put in the effort to argue with you. That and arguing with you takes away from the immediate task at hand.

I am willing because the less white noise your brain generates the more focused on the signal your brain will be.

Most of us have come to terms with the way one must play C9++ since we have tried it first hand. Apparently you haven't:

There links to fourteen games with this set-up played by fairly experienced players, go look at how the town approaches the game in the ones they win and reconsider your approach.

Additionally, here is play advice from mafiascum wiki to playing vigilante roles for you and everyone:

The philosophy of when and how often a player should shoot is debatable. One school of thought is that kills narrow down the pool of suspects, so any player that is not less likely to be scum than random should be fair game for being shot. This same school of thought favors killing on every Night, including Night 0 (when there is no game-related information about any player).

The other school of thought is that Vigilante kills take away majority-rules lynches from the Town, placing too much power in one player's fallible hands. This school of thought advocates only shooting players who are likely to be scum (or even whoever the Town collectively dictates should be shot), and not shooting otherwise.

The best play as a Vigilante is to shoot scum. This requires the Vig to find scum. There is no easy way to do this. However, because of their ability to make or break entire games depending on who they target, Vigs are frequently lauded and/or blamed for their decisions beyond appropriate proportions. Thus, as a Vig your best bet is to make decisions that will not cause you to be hated by every other player in the game. If in doubt, shoot a player that people would want to policy lynch (i.e. lurkers).
