Yeah, glad my two badge hunters secured the badge last night.

Turns out I was away on some overseas business that kept me from doing any serious playing for the few months right around the time the Keyes iTrial was originally released. Because I missed the main "rush" of people working on all the badges for the MoKeyes it took me many months to luck into some leagues that were finally able to pull off badges like Avoids the Green Stuff and Loves a Challenge. Even the other easier badges for that trial (Anti-Anti Matter and Bunker Buster) were relatively hard to get because it was somewhat difficult to encourage an entire league to actually -want- to get them. As a result I only just got MoKeyes on my main badgers a few months ago.

As an aside, I got Nemesis Plot just randomly passing through Peregrine from the RWZ. It looks like the badge just awards across the entire zone, whether you participate or not--luckily, I happened to be on my main badger.

And I was under the impression you had to at least hit the GM Nemesis at least once. I'll be testing this to see for sure.

Yeah you'd think at the very least they'd make it so that you'd have to personally plink him for some damage or be on a team/league that collectively damages him. It'd be weird to just be standing -anywhere- in a zone and randomly get a badge because other people are doing something you're not involved in.|

Maybe it's a distance thing - perhaps you just have to be "close" to the GM at some point for it to count. *shrugs*

It was kind of funny, really--I wanted to get the event badge the first day, because inevitably no one cares after the second day. Nemesis announced on the event channel that he was going to attack Steel, and I was in DA. So I ozoned, hoping to catch a quick zone to Steel (I can never remember where Ouroboros goes). Seeing that Steel wasn't an option, and that he announced an attack on KR, I opted to head for Founder's, to catch the tram to either zone. Zoning in to Founder's, he announced his attack on Peregrine--which would probably have the largest number of heroes participating, except perhaps for Atlas. Darn it! So I zoned to RWZ from Founders, and then back to Peregrine Island hoping against hope that the fight wouldn't be over (I zone slowly).
I popped in, and the badge immediately popped.
And as a general point of reference--it can't be an area-of-effect badge. Because I was at the RWZ portal, and most of the event beat downs (including this one), happen at Portal Corp. I joined the event to see what it was like: lots of jaegers. I never saw any event chatter, or Nemesis GM/AVs. Nothing.
In summary: Who knows?

Yeah, I was standing in the train station in Kings yesterday... just talking to someone, not on a team or league or anything... and I get the Nemesis Plot badge popup. There may have been a GM close by, I have no idea, I hadn't even left the train station after logging in. But I definitely was not even remotely partaking in the event yet.
Not that I'm complaining, now... just saying it might actually be distance related or zone-wide.

Apparently you don't even need to defeat him to get this badge. I'd seen a report by Hopeling that he didn't even see Nemesis and got the badge then something odd happened last night.|

No Nemesis troops in the lobby, no Nemesis GM in the lobby, solo, no combat at all by the character - just getting ready to log off and BOOM .... badge.
EDIT: Reading fail on my part. In my enthusiasm to report last night's actions I failed to read the rest of the thread where this has already been reported.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Perhaps if you were on during the developer event you get the badge. Similar to "Defender of Primal Earth" from 2011.

Sounds to me like the event is rather bugged. The scaling issues alone probably warrants a fix-n-restart.
It's 106 miles to Grandville, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing faceless helmets
