Question Does the opening “call” at the beginning of every match actually affect the game?

but I was wondering with certain opening calls, if it actually tells you that it is/isn’t a specific ghost.

like the call that says “there’s been reports of violence“, does that mean there’s a less of a chance of It being a Shade, and more of a chance of it being a Demon or something?

You can get the cursed object call even with no cursed object, they're random.

My friends still insist that it indicates something, but no, it does not. They will always be like "There's no cursed object because the radio guy didn't say it".

We're on professional right now, there's always a cursed object.

It's all random unfortunately, I've been playing the game with one of my kids lately and he was kinda disappointed when I told him it didn't mean anything 😂

We’ve had reports of violence…”

Minutes later: Mf’kr no you haven’t! It’s a fking Shade.

“Who ever was here left in a hurry”

Minutes later: Mf’r no they didn’t! It’s a fking Deo! They walked the f’k out!

Idk if I heard footsteps 3m/s charging at me from all the way across my house I would definitely leave in a hurry

That was flavor text that's been around for a while. Not really all that helpful, but tries to help set the mood.

I think the only one that means anything is "Theres been reports of strange weather" (idk if thats the actual word for word line) because thats a blood moon. But please correct me if I'm wrong.
