Cycle 22 dawns, and we're in first place. Which has really taken us by surprise. Everyone who was around in teamspeak at the time of cycle change was dead certain that Hudson would take first for this cycle, due to matching our number of control systems and having a larger number of successful preparations and expansions. But apparently there's another factor somewhere that we didn't consider. Either way, we get to keep the 20% trade profit bonus for at least another week, so enjoy it 
As for cycle results? We succeeded in expanding Kpaniya (despite what Galnet claims - someone didn't validate their data), got all three of our desired preparations moved into the expansion phase, and managed to keep our CC at a level where we can both get a couple of good preparations this cycle, but are also very hard to sabotage. All in all, great success, and we really appreciate the hard work of all the commanders who chipped in throughout the week. The dedication and sheer good sense of Mahon commanders never ceases to impress us.
The competition for the EGX codes is over! Here are the winners: Sibster, Psynergy, W. Moreau and Bob Hoskiins. Congratulations to all four! We have so far been unable to contact CMDR Sibster, so if you read this Sibster, please drop me a message or post on The Subreddit so we can meet you in-game for confirmation and get you your code.
And without further ado, the current priorities. For more detailed and up-to-date information, you can check the Spreadsheet Overview or visit the Mahon Subreddit.
NOTICE: We're seeing significantly increased undermining this cycle. Push hard on fortifications! The current targets are listed below, and will be updated daily.

Fortification:
ALL DONE!
Remember: Fortifying above 100% does nothing.

Please spend nominations on one of the three listed systems.

Expansion:
We have three expansions this cycle: 3 Upsilon Ophiuchi, BD+66 696 and Lundji. Of these, Lundji is pretty much a write-off due to the trigger ratio, while BD+66 696 has a quite favorable trigger ratio. As such, the main fight is expected to be over 3 Upsilon Ophiuchi, so if you want to do expansion, please focus mainly on that system. Fair warning though: It has a very large station distance, so expect to take roughly 10-12 minutes each run just flying to the station. Good time to grab a cup of the beverage of your choice, though

As always, the above are merely suggestions and not orders - The Alliance is not a military organization and pilots are free to pursue their own goals, but we definitely appreciate all the help we can get.
I will try to update the numbers in this post at least once per day, so check back regularly for updated priorities.
