I dont think you do, actually? CS can deal with two things at a time: [Is it possible... (making or/and statements with 3+ variables) - #8 by Havenstone](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/is-it-possible-making-or-and-statements-with-3-variables/2411/8)

What it can’t deal with is

- three things at a time, e.g. `(sexuality = "Women") or (sexuality = "Both") or (sexuality = "Poly")` – in that case you’d need to chuck a couple of them inside a parenthesis
- orphan bits of code – for example the stray “and” at the end of `*if (sexuality = "Men") or (sexuality = "Both") and`

I think in the code shared here, it’s the second one that’s the problem.
