Does the dealer read your burner phone?

[Alive!]

Does anyone else feel like the dealer reads their burner phone intel? Every time I've used the burner phone, I noticed that the dealer acts in self beneficial accordance to whatever information I just received. This has happened to me literally (LITERALLY) every single time I've used the burner phone without being able to take him out before the shell mentioned came up. The last few times this has happened, I tried to make a deliberate effort at noticing some kind of logic path that the dealer may have taken to best me with information that only he had, but it just never adds up. The only way it ever makes sense is if he knows what I know. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Or is it just me?

I wonder who's on the other end of the phone.

On one occasion, the phone told me the last shell was blank. The Dealer shot himself with the 2nd-last shell that was live [if he did listen in, he couldn't reason out the live shell]. Probably some other examples, but I just remember my favorite one. What were some rounds you were facing with the phone so we can get a better idea?

So far it happened to me like 4 out of 4 times. That's not a big enough dataset to conclude anything but seems sus

Yeah... the AI doesn't "count shells"

Dealer's AI randomizes.

One day he listened in, knew exactly which remaining shell was live and shot me with it. The dealer NEVER gets the saw out unless he's 100% certain its live. Which is something he could not have possibly known about, as no human player would take such a risk.

The next, he blew himself away on the last live shell the phone warned me about.

I have the same suspicion. Every time I used the phone and couldn't use the round myself, Dealer shot me with the round that was revealed. Either it was a live round, or he used an inverter without even knowing what it could be. I mean, if the chances that you turn a blank into a life round higher, then why not. But that one time was a 2 blank 4 life situation, Dealer used to inverter to turn the round he could not possibly know into a life one.

Dealer does make mistakes with the saw.
Dealer has made mistakes with the round the phone identifies.

But the real question is, why use phone when there are many rounds remaining? It's most powerful when there are only 2-3 rounds remaining; anything more and you're unlikely to be holding the gun when the identified round arrives. At that point it's down to the dealer's logic, if he happens to get it right he's not cheating.

Actually i must answer this as a No because there's a round where i knew the 5th shell is Live and i finished shot the 3th Shell (remaining 2L 3B) then giving him the turn with 1 charges left.

Dealer start with A BEER which remove the 4th Shell (B so down to 2L 2B) than using a Phone which show him 6th/ 7th/ 8th then handcuffed me as i ready to accept my fate.

Then... Dealer choose to shot himself on 5th that Live Round and die

So the answer is No, Dealer don't got any information on your phone instead he will track down the Ammo and choose to use wisely the odds. My Previous comment tell me that Dealer know the 6th/7th is Live Round since he choose to shot himself with 5th Live Round (which is Live i got that info from Phone) and imaging he know Live in 6/7 he had chance 1L 2B in 5th shell and in term of percentage it goes favor to B and resulting suicide lmao XD
