Not necessarily. If you just tell the player that they are in a boat or
whatever and adjustit so that instead of sending Jon the mud player is
standing here, when on water it sends
Jon the mud player is in <whatever form of flotation>. Then you would
use put Amazingly
cool sword of megadeath (sic) boat. If you drop stuff it is assumed that
you casually lob
over the side of your boat whilst whistling innocently. Same with
getting things, you get it
from the boat. This way you can have things floating past (stale bread,
hungry ducks,
corpses) as well.
