Omni-Balance occurs when a roleplayer in a fight refuses to accept what would normally be a defeat of their character, and their character counters with a feat they were previously incapable of doing, upsetting the power scale of the entire roleplay and causing the roleplay itself to deteriorate.

Get the Omni-Balancemug. Competitive balance is a concept used for good game making in multiplayer, player versus player games where different characters have different stats.
Basically, no single character type will be better than the other character types.
So if the character types are warrior, archer, and mage, a game that maintains competitive balance will have archers beat mages, mages beat warriors, and warriors beat archers for example.
Note that this is a generalized concept. An archer could theoretically beat a warrior in a fight in the above example, but generally, warriors will have the advantage over archers.
Also known as Elemental Rock Paper Scissors when elements are involved.

Get the see me balance man!mug. He/she kept trying to throw things off by counter-balancing everything all the time, even when it wasn't actually helping anybody but him/her.

Get the Neo Balancismmug. A way of contribution to services that comes from gifting culture. It allows for people to choose their contribution from 0 to ∞. It enables everyone to meet in the same circle, as we all have something to learn from each other. It is the most inclusive way of contributing to each other.
It can be shuffled within a sentence when you use it.
This is the explanation used to introduce it:
Today, it is an undeniable situation that there is a gap between people's solvency —ability to pay.
With this awareness, we believe everyone giving what they can according to their wealth is the best way going forward in terms of equal access rights.
People with more wealth can give more, while people with less wealth can give less. We don't expect to see proof of wealth. We simply believe in the integrity and fairness of your choice. We expect you to decide how much you value this journey and your contribution.
This way, we unlock the opportunity to give everyone access to this experience and contribute. We balance this contribution thanks to you. We want people without the ability to pay at the moment to benefit as well. We think, through this inclusivity, all of us can meet around the same circle. We are introducing the Contribution Balanced Participation Fee to unveil the unifying power of money.
Where do you see yourself creating this balance?
You can choose anything between 0 — ∞. The choice is yours.

I made my contribution balanced participation to an amazing Design Playing™ program.
I balanced my contribution by paying them €1000, so that all these people who couldn't pay can participate as well.

Get the Contribution Balanced Participationmug. Refers to a totally-legal but still-somewhat-devious practice of writing personal checks for comparatively-minuscule bills --- like maybe just two or three bucks for a bag of fresh vegetables from a roadside farm-stand --- instead of paying them in cash, and then secretly hoping that the checks’ recipients will not want to bother going to the extra effort of cashing said “tiny” checks, and thus your bank-account’s “balance” will be unaffected by your purchases.
Practicing the “system of checks and balances” can have varying degrees of success, depending on various factors, such as how strapped your checks’ recipients are for cash, how accustomed they are to cashing/depositing checks, or how willing/able they are to accept checks, especially for such paltry amounts (here’s where paying with checks at an unattended “drop the money in the slot” or “place the money in the cup/jar” merchandise-stand can be a good idea, since there will be nobody there to balk at your paying with a check). Extra points if you “embellish” the checks with flowery praising messages about how wonderful the sellers’ merchandise/service is, since it may stroke the people’s ego so much that they will prefer to “frame it rather than cash it” (again, especially since the check is for such a small amount, and so its value might likely not mean all that much to the person’s overall budget) when deciding what to do with your checks.
