Yes, I aspire for the latter.

However I do assume the sentences being typed in would match a logical structure so: 

Create some sticks
Create a pile of wooden sticks
Create a great big pile of burning wooden sticks
Create a small bundle of red sticks of dynamite 
Create a stick of dynamite

[download]
All these would (and currently do) work in my parser. However I am working within the confines of creating objects so 'sticks are to be created that are made of wood and grouped into a pile' is outside my 'world view' :-) and ignoerd.. or accuratly 'said' to the other players not acted upon like a 'create' command.

And yes you guessed it: 

Create a small white rabbit
Put the rabbit on the sticks
Put the dynamite on the rabbit
etc..

Will also logically be parsed and 'work' so players will see 'a pile of sicks with a small white rabbit on it. On the rabbit is a small bundle of red sticks of dynamite' etc..
