In the post-mortem fireside chat and subsequent write up conducted by then-CEO, [[User: | In the post-mortem fireside chat and subsequent write up conducted by then-CEO, [[User:Devalt Yotosala|Devalt]] 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 the removal of WHC's strategic reserve of doctrine ships had been in the Uni's ability to defend itself. 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. EVE Online's most dramatic stories often involve disgruntled members taking a vengeful turn on the people they once called friends. 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 of disagreements with the rest of leadership than anything else. | 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.

As evidenced by the existence of WHC in their C4 home, this eviction was a lot of things but it was not the end for WHC. | As evidenced by the existence of WHC in their C4 home, this eviction was a lot of things but it was not the end for WHC. | ||
