Not sure what the exact title should be. But at a point in my text game. I want to have multiple selections. But whenever I put the code (shown below), compile the program, and run it I get this. It goes through my main menu, new game, all the stuff up to where you make the first decision in the game. Then instead of choosing one or the other, it runs through the first one. Then through the second. I'm stuck here and hoping somebody could enlighten me. Please don't say stuff like "Oooh your using this when you should be using thing" and chop through my code. Please just try to help me with the problem at hand.
Here is the entire source so far.

}Please help, I've tried multiple different combos. Can't seem to get it to work. Being a little ill minded.
