=== Sparklez ===

In the post-mortem fireside chat and subsequent write up conducted by then-CEO, [[User:Jilokari Kurvora|Jilo]], it was all but confirmed that Sparklez Ripper, though she had left her leadership position officially and moved her alt to Lazerhawks still had several other alts in key positions with access to the strategic doctrines and likely had been the one who had taken WHC's reserves right before the final fight. It cannot be overstated how pivotal her role in undermining WHC's defense was in all likelihood. Her main that had always been in Lazerhawks was part of the opfor group.

In the post-mortem fireside chat and subsequent write up conducted by then-CEO, [[User:Jilokari Kurvora|Jilo]] in conjunction with a few other directors, it was all but confirmed that Sparklez Ripper, though she had left her leadership position officially and moved her alt to Lazerhawks still had several other alts in key positions with access to the strategic doctrines and likely had been the one who had taken WHC's reserves right before the final fight. It cannot be overstated how pivotal her role in undermining WHC's defense was in all likelihood. Her main that had always been in Lazerhawks was part of the opfor group.

At the time there were a lot of rumors that she had done this to prove a point after longstanding disagreements with the way WHC was run had gone ignored. This is certainly plausible for a number of reasons. The first of which is simplest: in any organization that isn't a pure autocracy, there will always be disagreements among leadership about how to handle things. There was also a longstanding issue of absentee leadership, which is to say that there were directors and managers at that time who were either doing stuff elsewhere in New Eden on their mains (the Uni relied largely on alumni putting alts in key leadership positions in order to function) or had real life obligations that kept them from being more involved in the day-to-day affairs of the Uni. Sparklez herself was one of those absentee leaders towards the end of her tenure, though that may have been more because disagreements with the rest of leadership than anything else.

The most infuriating thing about this for me personally was that rather than acknowledge that allowing Sparklez to publicly leave the Uni while quietly

The most infuriating thing about this for me personally was that rather than acknowledge that it was a mistake allowing Sparklez to publicly leave the Uni while quietly allowing her to keep alts with access to some of the most sensitive assets WHC had, Jilo opted instead to fall back on, "the Uni would not function without people in other corporations putting their alts in the Uni and running things."

=== Contract ===

As news of WHC's eviction spread through New Eden, the general consensus was that opfor were a bunch of assholes who may not have broken any rules but certainly set back the EVE community by doing what they had done. It was bad enough that CFT were glassing the Uni's nullsec staging, but now the Uni had to slowly rebuild and figure out what would be next for WHC. Someone from opfor took to Reddit to write a lengthy defense of their actions by saying they were merely fulfilling a contract. For the most part, this was considered to be either a bullshit fabrication or a poor choice on their part to take the contract in the first place.
