Battle Terrain
Genius Challenge: Who wins the battle using only Mechanics skills

[Fox]

Mechanics is solidly in Arcade's wheelhouse.  It is the basis of Murderworld.

I really don't know what hard science skills Palpy brings to the table.  He probably has feats in Extended Univers novels or something that I'm not aware of.  I've never though of him as a scientist character, tho.

[Boratz]

I think one of the first matches in this season had almost the same type of match up with Palpatine. That one was for robotics but like mechanics, I don't see it being Palps expertise. He may have some knowledge and maybe quite skilled in those areas but I dont see him being on the same level as Arcade. As Fox pointed out, this is the basis of Murderworld. Arcade is solid in this area, so i can see Arcade being able to win this one easily

Unless someone can show Palpatine displaying some great mechanical skill, I agree that this is Arcade's slot

[Peypeypeypey]

It is implied that he was making those Star Destroyers in the last Star Wars movie, wasn't it? That's something

Was it him making it though or just his minion scientists?

[Macklemore]

Until we've got full on proof that Palpatine made the Star Destroyers, I think I'll go with Arcade for the time being. We actually know he can operate with mechanisms due to the fact that he's created Murderworld.
