Er.. usually logging out and back in fixes it.

Hm. *reads several more times*

Did you send one too many invites?

[restore]

maybe i think that's the problem. i did invite at least 4 times.

[Karyuu]

Aye, if you sent out an invite, got a decline, then sent out more, there are penalties. You have to wait a minte after your first decline before you can send out an invite again.

hey it worked i logged out and logged back in and it works i can talk again thanks Karyuu.

But next time, remember:

Most people don't like duelling. So, before you invite anyone to a duel, first talk about it.

Preferably, make a roleplaying reason for a duel - this is a roleplaying game, not hack&slash. You are punished for declined invites, and not at all rewarded for a won duel (except for absolutely useless duelling points).

The chat flood protection and invite spam blocking are two completely seperate things.  If it says you're "muted", that's because you typed alot of junk into the chat box in quick succession.  The system just shuts you up, and you need to relog to reset.

[Karyuu]

Ah! There's something to remember for people who like long text shortcuts.

[DaveG]

If you do up/enter a bunch of times to repeat your last message, it'll come down on you pretty quick.  I don't even know if it expires.
