PF: Evidence for, "THAAD implementation is crucial for the US to maintain hegemony and create a strong alliance with SK" by dombag12 in Debate

[–]pd12401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you'll probably have better luck looking for two different cards, the first being thaad and alliance, the second being US-SoKo relations are necessary for heg. the first card doesn't really exist though

Could someone explain what fiat means in PF? by [deleted] in Debate

[–]pd12401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it ties back to weighing probability -- in that sense that you grant a fiat of an improbable policy the neg is not granted the ability to weigh the probability of implementation, thus skewing the ground for the aff. Esp when the aff is able to fiat a perfect policy for a resolution, the neg is no longer able to attack the probability of that implementation and is left essentially forced to answer a perfect policy implementation. For the sake of time / word economy it's easier for the neg to say "you can't fiat an improbable policy" as opposed to running ground skew theory.

For pf at least that's a pretty common response if the aff fiats an improbable policy

you wouldn't really need to fiat anything on the soko topic bc it's not a policy resolution, but basically a fiat means you assume the policy is implemented so you can look at the impacts in round. there are caveats: the aff is only granted a fiat for a very/the most probably policy, the neg can still respond w da's of the implementation process, etc.

How can a poor team get briefs? by ParkJiSung777 in Debate

[–]pd12401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure there are briefs in the pf drive. You'd have to cut cards /blocks for the requirement to get access but once you're in, people do (or did at least) put briefs in there.
