Madness network

[Zach Haffey]

Hey all.

Since I'm fairly new to the news group here I probably missed it the
first time around so could someone bring me up to speed.

If I use the Madness Network's power and my Malks take actions, am I
allowed to play action modifiers (ie stealth or bleed increasers) or can
I only hunt or bleed at 0 stealth? For that matter, can I equip and play
action cards?
I know the rules say that you are not allowed to play action cards when
It's not your turn and the same with action modifiers, they also say that
you can't take actions outside of your turn. It seems absurd (with as
rare as this card is) that you wouldn't be able to play cards and
modifiers when using it. If it were uncommon/common, yes I can see it.
Please help me decide whether I play with a couple in my deck or start
dotting the walls with it.

PS: Cool strategy for Madness Net. Wait till your prey is done with all
their actions and then bleed then and then Major boon it (hey, it's not
your turn. You can play the card) You get the edge (for successfully
bleeding) and the next time your bled, you make your prey take it. Wee!

Refreshers are always easy to come by :-)

No: Actionmodifiers / Action cards
Yes: Cardless actions, in-play stealth (Forest of Shadows, etc.)

No: Current Methusleah's Reaction cards (disallowed on her own turn).

It is absurd. Many people support the common sense house rule
that fixes the poorly written rules (which were not written to
account for actions taken on other-than-controller's turn)

Common Sense:
Can play action cards /modifiers whenever you take an action
Can play reaction cards whenever anyone else's minion takes an action.

Dot the walls or start issueing some house rules.
