How do I separate the username input from the game input?

Question

I wrote a game called Rock Rock Rock, which is a stupid variation of Rock Paper Scissors where the only option is Rock (but there are some special things I added in too) and I've also added a Username just for the fun of it. I noticed while testing the game that anytime I enter "sharp" or "or" as a username, the game simply closes. I've been trying to find a way to separate them, but google has no answers and I'm not smart enough to figure it out. Can someone help me? Thanks: Here's my code:

import time
import random
import os
import sys

message = ""
wait = 0
wins = 0
ties = 0
ores = 0
SR = 0
CR = 0
allow_input = False

def wait(wait):
    time.sleep(wait)

def typeprint(message):
    for char in message:
        sys.stdout.write(char)
        sys.stdout.flush()
        wait(0.03)

typeprint("Enter your username: ")
user = input()
typeprint("\nWelcome, " + user())
typeprint("\nType HELP for commands")
typeprint("\n\nLoading...\n\n")

running = True
while running:
    allow_input = True
    wait(1)
    typeprint("Choose Rock, Rock, or Rock: ")
    x = raw_input()
    typeprint("\nYou chose: " + x())

    if x.upper() == "ROCK":
        wait(1)
        typeprint("\nOpponent chose: Rock")
        wait(1)
        typeprint("\nIt's a tie!\n\n")
        ties = ties + 1
        typeprint("Ties: " + str(ties))

    elif x.upper() == "SHARP ROCK":
        wait(1)
        typeprint("\nOpponent chose: Rock")
        wait(1)
        if SR == 0:

            wait(2)
            typeprint("\nWell...it's not a tie...so I guess you win anyway")
            wins += 1
            typeprint("Wins: " + str(wins))

The problem you're facing lies on line 26. You should be calling user instead of user() since it's a variable not a method. Same thing on line 36, you'll need to call x instead of x() .

On line 35, you should be using x = input() instead of x = raw_input() . raw_input() was a python2 function which is now just input() .
