Answer 1

Prefix an r to your string

gv_sixTries = r'''
    ___________.._______ 
    | .__________))______|
    | | / /      ||
    | |/ /       ||
    | | /        ||.-''.
    | |/         |/  _  \
    | |          ||  `/,|
    | |          (\\`_.'
    | |         .-`--'.
    | |        /Y . . Y\
    | |       // |   | \\
    | |      //  | . |  \\
    | |     ')   |   |   (`
    | |          ||'||
    | |          || ||
    | |          || ||
    | |          || ||
    | |         / | | \
    | |         `-' `-'      
    | |                      
    | |                      
    : :                        
    . .                      
    '''

This tells python to use the string a raw literal, not using backslashes as escape characters
