-The rallying cry of many a 404'er.

We won't be signing off until the world ends. We'll be on, and we will cover the end of the world, live, and that will be our last event... and when the end of the world comes, we'll play 'Nearer, My God, to Thee' before we sign off.
-Ted Turner, on the events in Blackmore

Gentlemen, Playing with you has been the greatest honor of my life.
-Red Hawk One, August 31

When it takes the entire RRF to take you down, you know you've done well.
-ADK, a 404'er, on the event

Blackmore 4 Was a major siege that took place from August 19 2010 to August 31 2010, almost four years to the day after the original Battle of Blackmore. It began with an alleged "failed Pinata" by the group 404: Barhah not found, and quickly spiralled into a major conflict between various survivor groups, the Ridleybank Resistance Front, and the Feral Undead. It ended after thirteen days on August 31 when a joint strike by several RRF strike teams finally established a foothold and overpowered the survivor resistance.
