Defending

Flag down, 24 hours. Raise it and it is a defense. Miss it and you go dormant. Getting raided can never cost you your colors.

Flag down#

The moment a non-member lowers your flag, your clan is told — clan channel and a DM to every member: your flag is down, re-raise within 24 hours or go dormant. Your supply crate stops at the next restart. Your flag does not: a spare keeps spawning at your pole, so you always have one to raise.

Re-raise within 24 hours and it is a defense. Any member, your flag, your pole. It is announced, it goes on your clan page, and supplies resume at the next restart.

#war-log🛡️ The Nest raised their colors again — 4h under siege

Miss the 24 hours and you are dormant: the crate stops, your flag keeps spawning at your pole, you are marked dormant on the directory and the scoreboard, and you are unranked until you revive. Your flag, name, tag and base stay yours.

Getting raided never costs you your name, tag or flag. Only abandonment does.

Dormant from inactivity#

Separately from raids: if no member raises your flag at your pole for 7 days, you go dormant on inactivity — same effects. DayZ's own base decay runs on the same seven-day clock, so this is a raise you were making anyway.

Revive#

Any member raises your flag at your pole. Active again instantly, supplies back at the next restart, back on the board with your season points intact.

Disband by abandonment#

Dormant for 14 days straight and the clan is disbanded: the flag returns to the pool, the name and tag are held until season end, the Discord channel is deleted, and the base goes public after its 3-day grace. This is the only way to lose your flag, and it only happens to a clan nobody walked out to save in three weeks.

What the server can see

The log records a flag being raised or lowered by a person. It does not record a flag simply running out — so if your flag simply runs out on its own, the log sees nothing — and nothing for 7 days is what makes you dormant.

If the server itself goes dark — no log at all — the dormancy clocks pause. Nobody is disbanded for an outage.

Only your own members keep you alive#

A non-member raising your flag does not count. It cannot reset your clock and it cannot revive you. What it does is tell your clan that someone was at your pole — see Discord.
