Welll -- I got the timing of Wanted! wrong, since it would be played on
one player's turn and activated on another player's -- and that second
player would indeed be able to intitiate an action on their (own) turn
before an opponent could activate the Wanted!.
But... but if it could be played and activated in the same turn, there
would be some small grace. Assuming you were prepared for it, of
course.
