the only card which can make a card be played more than 3 times in a turn is procession
This isn't quite true. Self-trashing cards costing $3+ can be played more than 3 times in a turn without use of procession: Feast, Mining Village, Pillage. (Did I forget any?) That doesn't help though.

oh yea, you're right.

How are you planning to gain Madmen mid-turn?

Oh yeah, Madman doesn't work.

I think that it would be possible if Procession trashed the Action card before playing it twice, but otherwise you need a way to be able to chain the same two Processions endlessly and I don't see a way to do that.
To get around the fact that the action is played twice before being trashed, you just need extra copies of the desired action(s) in the desired place, probably the trash.  Procession on Rogue could pull a Procession and Rogue out of the trash if they're already there.  Unfortunately that's trashing two cards and returning two cards, and you still need a way to draw and play the cards you returned.  If there was a triple version of Procession (as KC to Throne Room), that would do the trick, but that's probably why such a card doesn't exist :)

Procession on Rogue only trashes one card (Rogue) and puts the other (Procession) into the play area for the rest of the turn, so even with free card draw this wouldn't be an infinite combo. You'd need to stack multiple Processions for getting to re-use some of them in the same turn. But since the first ("non-processioned") Procession of such a stack stays in the play area, you can play at most 10 Procession stacks in one turn - the first with at most ten Procession cards, the second with at most nine Procession cards and so on (assuming no BoM). The same restriction would hold for your hypothetical "triple Procession" card.

You know, I wonder who this herowannabe is. He only had 4 posts and posted this combo and then vanished. Who is this mysterious person who discovered one of the most powerful Dominion combos of all time.

It's a funny situation, a very nice article which (almost immediately) rendered itself obsolete. It has no advice for mirrors!

A keen observation.

Actually, the article opens by assuming others had figured out the gist of the combo on their own, but didn't post their findings for whatever reason.

Is this the guy with the biggest legitimate respect:post ratio?

Well then write that part. It's really strange when two people play the combo.

I believe someone wrote that one a little while ago.

Edit: Hmmm... Maybe not. All searching turned up was a request for such an article.

I have the same question about the guy who discovered KC-KC-Goons-Masquerade. I played  against him on isotopic -- did he ever post here?

Just got to play this combo today, against an opponent who had no idea what I was doing. Had a few hiccups—Enchantresss attack was pretty annoying—and I played a Mad Man too fast, but it came together and I won. So satisfying!
