Weird Problem

on join:
  if player is not "VoidStacker" or "Macrolect" or "AnonymousKings" or "StrafinMC" or "KrazyXD" or "Qql" or "Lehoh":
    if {ips::*} contains "&f&l%player% &8- &b&l%player's IP%":
      message "&cALREADY CONTAINED"
    if {ips::*} does not contain "&b&l%player's IP%":
      add "&f&l%player% &8- &b&l%player's IP%" to {ips::*}
    else:
      broadcast "&c&lWHY DOESN'T THIS WORK"

This isn't working for some reason, no errors it just always messages error no matter what, I've deleted and cleared the {iplist::*} multiple times, nothing seems to work.
It always broadcast "Why doesn't this work"

Please follow the Help layout and this will be faster to solve.

I added a command to add something to this list and after I do that it works fine, it's almost like the list needs to be created before this works? Any ideas?

Going forward, please use the layout that we provided and @Snow-Pyon linked. It is also included in the notice when you create a new thread.

I've been told that using "contains" doesn't work sometimes. You can always use a loop instead.

    if player is not "VoidStacker" or "Macrolect" or "AnonymousKings" or "StrafinMC" or "KrazyXD" or "Qql" or "Lehoh":
        loop {ips::*}:
            if "%loop-value%" is "&f&l%player% &8- &b&l%player's IP%":
                message "&cALREADY CONTAINED"
                stop
        add "&f&l%player% &8- &b&l%player's IP%" to {ips::*}
        stop
