LSJ: Masika as a malk in the network?

I was just wondering if it were possible to be this devilish, or if someone somewhere will sometime whack me on the head with the rules and errata and say it's illegal. Let's say I'm playing a Malk deck, with Masika included for a strange combo. I first influence Masika, then on the next turn make a Malk out of him thanks to Clan Impersonation. Since I have the Madness Network in play, can he bleed my prey after each players' turns, or does he get caught in the No Repeat Action rule? Does the No Repeat Action rule apply for the full turn around the table? Or does it apply only for each player's turn? And if it's the second option, does the end of another player's turn put Masika's No Repeat Action flag back to rest? As asked up there, can he continuously untap and bleed through the Madness Network? I don't know if it's been discussed before, but I haven't found anything on the subject yet.

In fact I have an interesting Masika/Madness Vote deck nicknamed "whose turn is it anyway", hard to pull off but when it works..... Karl

It is a very fun deck if you can get everything in place. It actually has to be a very high defense deck, because everyone will see Masika as a threat, and try and kill him, or take out the Madness Net. But, the deck really begins to rock if you can slap a couple Aching Beautys on Masika before he begins his march. Then there is almost no stopping the fun (except for someone inevitably beating the hell out of Masika). I've actually played this deck in tournament; it was really defensive and slow starting and it almost always lost to the two-hour time limit (once when I was on the verge of a sweep). I lost once to my predator pulling a hostile takeover on Masika, and somehow using him to kill the rest of the table, followed by me.
