The kills of 2015: The Initiative.

This post is part of the "Killboards without inflation" series.

Now look at that! An Emporium alliance without much Emporium support and with a green killboard: The Initiative (data). They pwned NC. hard (OK, that's not that hard), and operated far from other Emporium alliances. They are one of the few who could survive without Goons bailing them out all the time. Besides WALLTREIPERS, the corps are also well-integrated. Unlike in "elite" alliances, most of the kills aren't done by a few big killers, but by lots of 1-10B pilots. While INIT is not a top 20 alliance, therefore they don't have 2014 analysis, the old toplist says 1.7T kills, so they increased performance. One more thing to notice: their highsec, lowsec and WH activity is minimal, they are all-null.

Below you can see the corps of the alliance with more than 100B of its activity:

Rank	Corp	B Damage done	B Damage taken	ISK ratio
1	DEFCON.	350	123	74
2	Vanishing Point.	262	178	60
3	WALLTREIPERS	289	122	70
4	Air	193	151	56
5	Troll-Republic	146	86	63
6	Dawn of a new Empire	109	64	63
7	Das zweite Konglomerat	101	68	60
8	Big Shadows	79	76	51
9	13th Squadron	62	83	43
10	Konstrukteure der Zukunft	72	67	52
11	SPANI	71	47	60
-	Sum of small ones	225	230	49
-	Total	1959	1296	60

Below you can see what alliances contributed more than 100B to the killboard of the analyzed one.

Rank	Alliance	B Damage done	B Damage taken	ISK ratio
1	Northern Coalition.	315	57	85
2	Gentlemen's.Club	124	76	62
3	The Gorgon Empire	79	104	43
4	Pandemic Legion	70	112	38
5	Test Alliance Please Ignore	108	48	69
6	The Kadeshi	50	53	48
-	Sum of small ones	1213	846	59
-	Total	1959	1296	60

The inflation factor of this alliance is 214%. Below you can see which alliances helped it the most by shooting the same target. Please note that damage is capped by own damage, so if the analyzed alliance did 1B damage, X did 2B, Y did 8B, then X get 0.2B help, Y get 0.8B, as their help provided 1B de-inflated damage.

Rank	Alliance	B Damage helped
1	Initiative Mercenaries	68
-	Sum of small ones	175
-	Total	243

Below you can see the monthly activity distribution chart. "Month" is here 1/12 year and not exact calendar month. Also, sorry for the ASCII graph, but creating so many proper image charts would be exreme work for all the alliances. Colors refer to ISK ratios, pure red means below 20%.

This is the ship value distribution of the alliance. The total population has equal damage done and taken in all 6 groups. Please note that "Ships killed" is also de-inflated, if the alliance did 1% damage to a ship, they get 0.01 kill:

Ship value groups	Ships killed	B Damage done	Ships lost	B Damage taken
0-65M	20438	255	11929	199

Total	25481	1959	16088	1296

This is the number of killers on reports for alliance. The total population has equal damage done and taken in all 6 groups. Please note that "Ships killed" is also de-inflated, if the alliance did 1% damage to a ship, they get 0.01 kill:

Below you can see the performance of the top corporations against the top enemies in format of B kills / B losses, color coded by ISK ratio of the corp against the enemy. The second line shows how big percentage of the killboard is against/from this enemy. If the activity of the corp against the enemy is less than half of the alliance average, their field is greyed out, showing that the corp didn't pull its weight against that enemy.
