Balmora Rules, or Playing by Balmora Rules. To play by the rules used in the City of Balmora Morrowind. To take what you want from someone by lethal force or to otherwise claim someones prior possessions by right of conquest. Often the possessions take or "won" are not even of real use to the conqueror, who only indents to sell them.
Stemming for the Bethesda game "The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind", specifically the in game city of Balmora, the first major city most players reached. Unlike later games in the series, Morrowind had no Essential NPCs. This coupled with the fact that the loot system was not leveled, leaving most high quality gear hard to find, meant that many NPCs were killed for no other reason then that the player wanted to steal their clothes. In addition Morrowind had no means to purchase property, leaving many players to simply kill the owner of a house they liked and take up new residence. This gave the whole game a very lawless and frontier like feel.

This rule describes the phenomenon where when you get new toothpaste it'll only taste weird for a day. This rule can be applied to any event that becomes common place after about a day.
"Dude, my new toothpaste tastes horrible!"
"Don't worry about it, remember the toothpaste rule."
This was a term coined by Gavin Free from Roosterteeth Podcast #370.

The Roaming Rule applies to all relationships, just like with your mobile phone network i.e 02 - when you go abroad, you turn off roaming charges...! When you go away with the lads...'roaming charges' are off...
Girl: "I can't believe you shagged another bird in Magaluf..."
Boy: "Doesn't count, the Roaming Rule comes into play when the plane touches down..."

Rule that when two people are splitting something, one of them gets to cut/divide it and the other gets to pick which half they want.
According to the Rule of the Mountain, you can split our cookie in two, but then I get to pick which piece I want!
