Nemesis Plot Badge

[Ukase]

Maybe someone knows...I do not. 
This morning, the Nemesis Event was triggered in Steel Canyon. We started slow, with just a team for the first few minutes, but eventually got more than 3 full teams, after maybe 5 minutes. 

After about 20 minutes of spawning Nemesis...the event ended and nobody got the Nemesis Plot badge. That seems kind of strange to me. I have been trying to think as to why this didn't happen, and my only conclusion is he spawned, but a drone took him out, despite our being far away from Positron and any other npcs. They spawn where the player characters are, so if someone was training, he could have spawned there, as well as where the league was, right? 

Is there some other mechanic I'm missing, why we didn't get badge credit?

Beats me.  The Wiki says:

"This badge will still award, whether or not you helped harm Nemesis, and even if he is defeated by, e.g., a Police Drone"

here's another thread discussing how you do not have to do damage to get the badge, but there may be a time limit for defeating Nemesis:

This is an odd one for sure since it has happened so infrequently. Hard to test or troubleshoot unless you've got the final arc mission that sets it off and you copy over a character to beta to try a few times to see what's up.

 

Good luck!

Perhaps there was a smaller league of at least 10 people elsewhere in the zone and he spawned near them - and since he spawns as a GM and does TONS of damage, perhaps that smaller league was overwhelmed by him and stacked vengeance  and they could not defeat him in the remaining time.  ....only thing I can think of as to why that happened.

Did the arc to spawn the event. It spawned in Steel Canyon and we were able to get enough people to spawn the GM, except he didn't show. Noticed a waypoint on the map for "Lord Nemesis", except it was way off the map.
