Description of the incident: As xenos were waiting for the DS, I've ghosted from my lurker - on the tile where my larva ghost is in the screenshot - and announced it in dchat. Pretty soon after, railgun was fired on that location.
Upon maximizing the game, I found my lurker gibbed from what seemed like a direct railgun hit. There were multiple railgun shots fired (saw one more going off - so at least two), and I can't say if my lurker was gibbed by the first one. I can't provide any more details, as I had my game minimized with disabled audio.
I'll note that it's not the first time I'm seeing seemingly extremely coincidental targeting of railgun / other means of bombardment. A lot of times, a dot appears on very specific places, as if marines had complete intel of my position, and / or other xeno positions. It's then usual for the dot to disappear without anything being fired.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):
How you would punish the accused: Not here to pass judgement, or decide whether it really was metacomms. Just raising awareness of metacomms, with what I think are very likely cases of it in - as we all should know - a metacomms infested game.
