• How do I test one variable against multiple values? 7 answers

This code is for a basic adventure game I am writing. I keep getting dead('you become a workaholic etc...') even when I input 'refuse' or 'sdef' in Python.

Help!!

from sys import exit

def dead(why):
   print why
   exit(0)

def nyc():
   print '''You arrive in NYC and have a bank job lined up. will you take it or leave it?'''

   choice = raw_input('> ')

   if 'take' or 'accept' in choice:
       dead('You become a workaholic and die of heart failure.')

   elif 'refuse' or 'decline' or 'leave' or 'not' in choice:
       bum()

   else:
       dead('Its banking or no deal buddy...you dead')
