<p>so here is my code.</p>

<pre><code>public static void play(Player player) {
    Scanner localScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    while(localScanner.hasNextLine()){
      String input = localScanner.nextLine();
      if(input.equals("quit")) {
        System.out.println("Game over, Good bye.");
        return; }
      if(input.contains("north")){
        buildWorld(player, player.moveTo().connectNorth());}
      else if(input.contains("south")){
        buildWorld(player, player.moveTo().connectSouth());}
      else if(input.contains("east")){
        buildWorld(player, player.moveTo().connectEast());}
      else if(input.contains("west")){
        buildWorld(player, player.moveTo().connectWest());}
      else {
        String contents;
        if (!contents.equals(""))
          System.out.println("There is:\n" + contents);
        else{
          System.out.println("This room is empty.");}
       else if(input.startsWith("pickup")){  // &lt;-- This is the 'orphan' else
        contents = input.substring(8);
        if(player.moveTo().moveTo(contents)){
          Object localObject = player.connectWest(contents);
          if(localObject !=null)
            System.out.println("You have picked up " +localObject);
          else
            System.out.println("You have too much damage, Game over.");}
        else {
          System.out.println("There is no " +contents);}
      }
      else if (input.startsWith("drop")){
        contents=input.substring(6);
        if(player.moveTo(contents))
          System.out.println("you dropped " +contents);
        else
          System.out.println("You don't have "+ contents); }
      else if(input.contains("status")){
        System.out.println(player);}
      else{
