The 2015 de-inflated killboard toplist

In the last month, there were lots of posts showing alliances in depth, one by one. Today I post one last, J4LP, and finish this series. Now a permanent page is created to easily reach all of them.

Feel free to comment the page here.

PS: Hey Miniluv! Do something about this!

Hi Gevlon. I really enjoy the statistics and hard numbers approach you have. Would it be possible for you to write some sort of guide on how such post is made? From data collection, to processing and transforming to graphs.

@Zosius to be honest, that would be awesome.

As written on the page, the data is collected by Hanura H'arasch. They are linked in the post. Probably for some ISK he would download data for you too. It's a human-readable file, open it in a viewer and watch.

I process it with a self-made program. My programming skills are horrible and I haven't coded anything for a decade before I started these. Now I'm getting better, but still wouldn't recommend anyone to try to use my code.

@Anon: http://www.freepascal.org/ The code is horrible, I often have to rewrite whole parts when I want to change them because I forgot how they worked.

@Jedi2015: The-Culture was created in September, 2015 data don't seem relevant (same for TISHU). I'll request the other two databases.

I'd really like to see "i n f a m o u s" even though they were founded in mid 2015

Have you considered estimating how much opportunity cost these ratting changes have cost the CFC? It should not be hard to tell if Tishu or Moa are doing more economic damage counting both denied isk making opportunity and kills.
