He is not an admin on the server. My only conclusion to him showing up in the middle of nowhere is either A. Hack B. He was in the right place at the right time
I was playing earlier today and I was way in the North West with a little bird that I had for about 2 days. I was low and gas and asked a regular on the server if he could spare some gas. He said no problem and he said it would take him about 5 minutes. We used side chat to communicate and made no indication to where the location was. He shows up and he starts refueling when all of a sudden I hear a bullet hit me and I die. Few seconds later he dies as well. Needless to say we were both pissed. I asked our killer how he knew our position because we did not use coordinates to my location. The killer responds saying he used the numbers to the left of our side chat to find us. I searched all over the DayZ wiki looking for such a way to find people using this method and yielded no results. Is this actually possible or was this a case of wrong place wrong time?
