Unspeakabull vs drag on and on and on
 
So basicly these 2 curses contradict eachother.
If I get cursed with drag-on and on I have to keep talking.
But what happens if I get cursed with unspeakabull at the same time? Do I choose what to do and always suffer the results of the other curse?

Yes. Congratulations, you've gotten the most annoying combination of Curses in the multi-game.

I have heard it ruled before that if you have two conflicting cards, where I says you CANNOT do something, and the other says you MUST do something, then the CANNOT wins. The FAQ specifically calls this out for Run-Away attempts, where if one cards says you can run-away automatically, and the other says you cannot run-away, the cannot wins.

I guess it depends on what the cards actually say. If they say you can't stop talking and you can't talk, and that's it, then I think the principle you mention would apply. But if, as I suspect, they simply delineate a negative consequence for speaking or not speaking, then they can both apply at once, and you simply have to choose which consequence to accept.

But if the wording is not "can't do it" and "must do it' but rather "will suffer X if you do it" and "will suffer Y if you don't do it", then presumably you can choose whether to do it or not, and therefore whether to suffer X or Y.
