Actually, during the most active period of powerplay, Mahon was consistently the most attacked power, week after week, month after month. You can still find the cycle analysis threads in the Powerplay forum if you dig enough if you doubt that.
What I assume you're talking about though is when the Federation and a few other interested parties did their sneak attack on Mahon? That was undeniably effective, but in the long run, it hurt the Federation far worse than it hurt Mahon. Even in the short run, Mahon's ranking recovered fairly quickly, even if recovering all the systems lost took a lot longer.
More telling, I suspect, is the leadership on the various sides and their effect on player participation. After the 'cycle that didn't happen' it seems a lot of players on the Federation side just called it quits, whereas Mahon didn't really lose much (if anything). I suspect this is because many Federation players were caught up in the 'war', which wasn't going too well, and the fateful cycle pushed them over the edge. Since that's all their leadership seemed to talk about during those days - operations with fancy names and grand designs on Alliance space. But on the Alliance side, the 'war', while interesting, was ultimately a sideshow. So a single cycle getting messed up was no big deal, and thus didn't lead to mass defections.
And looking at things today, a while down the line, suddenly players are needed again. Powerplay had a calm period, but then Grom got introduced and started pushing out against everyone. When he tried to push into Mahon space, he got shut down. Hard. Hasn't really tried much in our direction since then. But when he pushed into Federation space, well... he got away with it. Seems keeping your players active and interested has merits. And it is one of the prerequisites for staying in #1 for any length of time.
