Torpor

so the minion phase grinds to a halt if there's any "mandatory actions?" if i have three vampires out, and one in torpor with no blood that gets rescued, my other minions can't act until the one with no blood hunts?

Yes, any unresolved "mandatory action" stops all other 'elected actions' until the "mandatory actions" are resolved. Mandatory Actions include:
- hunting when on 0 blood
- effects such as Lunatic Eruption
- Phillipe Rigaud

So, There are two ways a Vampire goes into Torpor 1 he is reduced to Zero blood, or 2 he gets aggravated damage and is immediately forced into Torpor, even if he has blood left on him..... is that right?

No, he must be reduced below zero. If the vampire takes damage that puts them exactly on zero, it only needs to hunt as its next action it doesn't go to torpor. The vampire must take 1 damage when at 0 blood to go to torpor, or take a point of aggravated damage at any amount of blood.

or
3) He attempts to block (without having fortitude) and the acting minion with superior fortitude and 3(+) blood plays Kiss of Ra .

or
4) he is Sabbat and blocked by a Cardinal/Archbishop/Priscus/Regent who plays Cardinal Sin: Insubordination after the combat.

or
5) the reacting Prince/Justicar/Inner Circle plays Legacy of Power when a vampire is acting and a combat occurs.

or
6) any time card text says so....

Just a note : empty malkavian DO NOT have to hunt if madness network is in play. They just can't take any other action.

How so?

Madness Network
Type: Master
Requires: Malkavian
Unique master.
Put this card in play. Untapped Malkavians can take actions in any Methuselah's minion phase (follow normal sequencing rules). Any minion can burn this card as an action that any untapped Malkavian (in addition to the normally eligible blockers) can attempt to block.

Maybe you meant during other methuselahs turns. During your own turn they are forced to hunt.

Oh yes of course.
I was answering to Ohlman stating that empy malk HAD to hunt during other meth turn if empty with MN.

My bad for the misleading lack of precision.
