Madness Network

[kp...@my-deja.com]

who can block actions taken to burn the Madness Network?

Unique Master:
After any Methuselah has finished with actions during his or her
turn, any untapped malkavians can take an action. Any minion can
burn this card with an action that any untapped Malkavian can
attempt to block. Go cllockwise from the acting Methuselah if two
or more Malkavians attempt to take actions or block at the same
time.

If I play the MadNet, can my muddles attempt to block the action to
burn it? I don't think so (card text mentions nothing about it being a
D action, or anything of that sort. Just explicitly includes all
(untapped) malks.), but was hoping someone could tell me for
sure.

Well, the ruling appears to be:

Malkavians may block *in addition* to the normally eligible blockers.
[RTR 19950530]

It seems to be an undirected action, but any action against a card
controlled by another Methuselah, their minions, etc, becomes a (D) action
against that Methuselah. So, if it's your Muddles and your Network, you get
first chance to block (as with all (D) actions), with Muddles if you wish.
If you decline, *then* the other untapped Malkavians can attempt to block,
as specified by card text.

Correct.
