Optional trigger effect Vs. Multi-trigger effect

[exiledforcefreak]

I'm still very confused on how to determine if a card is a optional trigger or multi-trigger effect

example, if both witch of the black forest and peten the dark clown are both optional trigger effects...
then why does witch of the black forest initiate a new chain after the current chain resolves while peten the dark clown loses it's timing?

reminder, I'm asking how to figure out the differance, not just an explanation of the example given.

No offense taken ever on such things....we're all here trying to figure things out, get rulings, and reason out those things that don't seem to make sense. We all have our "gifts" Obviously novastar is very talented in the area of templating....among other facets

Let the first person who hasn't learned something here and has all the answers throw the first stone!

Other player-activated effects are spell speed 1, meaning that:

2) They can only be activated during your turn.
3) They can't chain.
