📜 The rules of the game
Everything you can do in Farmea and, above all, what the court will not let you do. No fine print: the numbers on this page are the ones the code actually runs.
⚖️ What Farmea is
Farmea is a satirical court for your group of friends: you tell a story, the judge passes sentence without an ounce of shame and hands out aura, which is pure imaginary status.
The important bit: the judge only proposes. Aura is credited by the signatures of those who were there. The best writer doesn't win here — the one who actually lived it does.
✨ How aura is earned
The court reads your story and proposes between −50 and +50 aura. That's a proposal, not a deposit: until someone signs, your aura doesn't move a single point.
Every "✅ I vouch for it" adds a signature; every "❌ That's a lie" takes one away. What counts is the net signatures (in favour minus against), and that figure decides what percentage of the proposal actually gets credited.
The signature curve
| Net signatures | Aura credited | In plain words |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 % | Nobody backs you. Zero. |
| 1 | 40 % | One lone friend is worth little. |
| 2 | 79 % | It's starting to sound true. |
| 3 | 100 % | Three witnesses: the full verdict. |
| 5 | 118 % | The fifth barely changes anything. |
| 10 | 130 % | A crowd adds loose change. |
| ∞ (loads) | 136 % | Hard ceiling: however many sign, it goes no higher. |
A real example: the judge proposes +30. With 1 signature you get +12; with 3, the full +30; with 10, +39. And with a hundred signatures… +41. That's the ceiling.
Why is there a ceiling?
Because without one, a group of forty would crush a group of six, and that measures your contact list, not your charisma. With this curve the tenth signature adds barely a hundredth of the verdict: the big group gains something, but it doesn't win the game.
And in case anyone tries: no single case file can credit more than ±65 aura. No matter what.
✍️ The rules of signing
- You can't sign your own story. Not with another account, not with an innocent face.
- One vote per person and case file. No recount, no second round, no "oops, wrong button".
- A cap of 20 signatures a day. A signature is worth something because it's scarce; whoever signs everything signs nothing.
- 48 hours and that's it. If nobody signs within two days, the case file is shelved with no aura and the judge moves on.
- Vouching for a whopper costs you. If the group ends up debunking the story, everyone who said "I vouch for it" loses 3 aura. With no cost, four friends would validate the entire universe.
- Debunking isn't a one-person job. It takes 2 "that's a lie" votes, and they must also outnumber the "I vouch for it" ones: a lone enemy takes nobody down.
And if you get debunked?
You lose whatever had been credited — back to zero — and that's the end of it: the author gets no extra punishment. That's deliberate. If a debunking actually subtracted aura, two jokers with time on their hands could sink anyone. This way, the worst that can happen is you stay exactly as you were.
📎 Evidence, and what it's worth
Aura doesn't only come from telling stories: you can also drop evidence in the group. And what takes effort is worth more.
| Evidence | Aura | Daily cap | When it counts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🎬 Video | +10 | 3 | With 2, 3 or 4 signatures |
| 📷 Photo | +5 | 3 | Right away |
| 🎙️ Audio | +4 | 5 | Right away |
| 🎭 Meme | +3 | 5 | Right away |
Two notes on this table. One: a photo and a meme are the same image to the chat, but not to the court. The difference is 2 points and who made it, and how that gets decided is right below. Two: links no longer score. They sat in this table at +2 and have been retired without ceremony: pasting a URL is the cheapest thing a finger can do, and what gets paid here is effort.
📷 Photo or meme: same image, different price
When you drop an image in the group, Farmea decides on its own which one it is. It doesn't ask you and it doesn't put it to a vote: it's 2 points apart with a cap of 3 photos a day, and bothering the court over that would burn more attention than it protects. What it does is look at the file, and at how it arrived.
| What the image brings | Counts as |
|---|---|
| Camera EXIF: the phone's make and model, when it was taken, coordinates. | 📷 Photo (+5) |
| Sent as a file, uncompressed. That's a deliberate move, and the original arrives intact. | 📷 Photo (+5) |
| Compressed and stripped bare: not one scrap of metadata. Identical to a meme anyone can download. | 🎭 Meme (+3) |
| Forwarded. However much metadata it carries, you didn't take that photo. | 🎭 Meme (+3) |
| The file confesses it came from an image generator (prompt included — some of them store it inside). | 🎭 Meme (+3) |
⚠️ Send it as a file or you lose 2 points
This is the trap that's going to cost half the group points: Telegram strips the metadata off any photo you send with the photo button. It compresses them, wipes the EXIF, and what reaches the court is an anonymous image, indistinguishable from a downloaded meme. So if the photo is yours and you want it paid as such, send it with "Send as file" (uncompressed). One extra tap, two extra points.
And when in doubt, meme. Handing out +5 for a doubtful image costs more than paying +3 for one that really was your photo, so ties go to the low price. For the record: an AI-made image is not rejected, it comes in as a meme — which is exactly what it's worth.
🤖 The AI rule
An AI-made meme counts. Nobody is pretending that cat in a suit is real: a meme is humour, and humour needs no alibi.
A show-off video, no. There you're bragging about something that happened, so it has to have happened. And here Farmea is honest: there is no reliable detector of AI-generated video today, so it doesn't pretend to have one. Instead of proving something is AI, it looks for signs that it is real and uses them to decide how many signatures to ask you for.
How many signatures a video needs
| What Farmea looks at | Signatures required |
|---|---|
| Recorded inside the app: Telegram's round video can't be uploaded from the gallery. | 2 |
| Camera metadata (a real date, the phone's maker) or Content Credentials. | 3 |
| Forwarded, or a loose file with no other signal at all. | 4 |
| The file confesses it came from a generator (Sora, Runway, Veo…). | Out. No aura. |
None of those signals is proof, and all of them can be wiped with a bit of skill. That's why the final call isn't the algorithm's: it's the group's. If your friends were there, they know perfectly well whether it happened.
🪙 FARMeoins and the shop
They are two different currencies and it pays not to mix them up. Aura is status: earned through signatures and never sold. FARMeoins are loose change: earned by playing and spent on mischief.
How you earn them
- 5 FARMeoins for every story judged. They land immediately, no strings: that's the payment for taking part, it measures nothing.
- 1 more FARMeoin for every 10 points of aura, and this one follows the aura: it's paid when the group credits it, not when the court proposes it. No signatures, no bonus — and if you get debunked the coins leave with the aura, straight back to the till. Making the story up doesn't even pay in loose change any more.
- 1 FARMeoin per point of aura an item of evidence is worth: a meme gives you 3, a photo 5 and an audio 4, right away; a video, up to 10, once its witnesses sign.
- +15 for taking part in one of the court's spontaneous challenges.
What you can buy
| Item | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 💥 Sabotage | 25 🪙 | You take 10 aura off whoever you pick from the group list. No trial, no signatures, no mercy. |
| 🛡️ Immunity | 40 🪙 | 24 hours in which negative verdicts take no aura off you. |
| ⚖️ Appeal | 20 🪙 | The court reviews your last judgment and adjusts the difference. Warning: sometimes it goes worse. |
Let's be clear: aura is not for sale. No bundle, no shortcut, no payment gateway. If you want aura, tell something good and get your friends to sign it.
📱 Where you play
Telegram
The court in its element: menu, buttons and group chat. Drop Farmea into the chat and that's it.

On top of that: send a photo, an audio or a video to the group and it counts as evidence — if the photo is yours, send it as a file or it'll come in as a meme. And under every sentence you get the ✅ I vouch for it and ❌ That's a lie buttons, which is where everything is decided.
Nobody types slashes here, so the commands are plain words. Just write to Farmea directly.

The web
Right here. Write the story on the front page, pass the case file link to whoever was there and let them sign under Sign. Under Top you'll find the people and court rankings.
🔗 One single identity
Telegram, WhatsApp and the web can all be the same person. Generate a FARM-XXXXXXXX code on one platform, type it on the other within 15 minutes, and your aura, FARMeoins and history merge into a single account.
🚫 What doesn't fly
- Making the story up. Writing well isn't charisma; there are literary contests for that. Besides, your friends were there and they have two buttons.
- Mutual signing pacts. "You sign mine and I'll sign yours" works beautifully right up until someone debunks it and it costs each of you 3 aura.
- Recycling the same meme. Farmea keeps a fingerprint of every image and, when the vision model is awake, it also recognises the same joke wearing a different face. Twice won't fly.
- Machine-gunning the court. There's a limit of 10 judgments a minute and 300 a day, and stories on the web run from 10 to 1000 characters. Farmea needs to breathe too.
🤝 An honest note
This is satire among friends. Farmea doesn't really judge anyone, aura means absolutely nothing outside the chat, and no verdict is an opinion about anybody. If someone isn't enjoying the game, you stop playing it with them: no score is worth that.
