The rise of Evil: May ratting data

Like in April, I processed the downloaded Dotlan data for May 2015. There is a problem though. On 05/19/15, there were 3580854 highsec kills. The next day: 303252. Same drop in lowsec and nullsec, without online player number drop on eve-offline. It can only be an error at dotlan, so I omitted these data from the graph to avoid it ruin the trendlines: Highsec and lowsec stagnated in May, but Nullsec ratting risen a lot. Where?

Deklein and Branch, the main CFC ratting lands saw increase like never before. Vale of the Silent also grew, getting to top 5. Cobalt Edge of XWX increased too, while Providence lost some ratting. Tenal ratting more than doubled since INIT was settled there. Other winners were Esoteria and Fountain since the new owners arrived. You already see where it goes.

Both in absolute and relative numbers, the Imperium of Evil broke the records and ratted more than ever. More than 1/3 of the null rats (with their bounties) fell to the minions of Evil. I had to check this on the unprocessed Dotlan stats and there was no mistake. The two main CFC ratting lands beat several highsec regions. While they suffered unmatched losses on the battlefields, they managed to increase their signature activity by large.

Same thing here: CONDI, FCON, SMA, BASTN and INIT ratting grew a lot, often breaking records. It's also worth noting how condensed the CONDI (Goonswarm) ratting became. 3x more rats die in their systems than in an average Nullsec system. This is the opposite of XWX, which has much more land than ratters. NA, B0T and PBLRD are dropping fast, due to closures, the only interesting data remaining is GCLUB, which climbed to top 5 with fast ratting growth.

Sad news indeed. Something must be done to stop the Imperium of Evil from getting even more ISK by their unmatched fervor in carebearing.
