Go Back and Pick a different Character! You can’t find your licence in your bag and go and mine anyway but get chained to a tree You search for 30 seconds more and find it.

7. Incorrect! You definitely would not lower that miners fee without being persuaded or forced to. Knowing what he would do you should try again. Go Back and Try again

8. Correct! The licence checks, the mining fees, what’s next? Sir Charles Hotham seems like he finds happiness by making everyone else’s like miserable, Or does he? You place worse punishments if a miner doesn’t show his licence immediately You send in troops at dawn to fight against the Eureka Rebels inside their stockade.

9. Incorrect! He didn’t turn him self, nobody at that time would do that . I mean would you? Of-course you might turn yourself in if you get a reward but in this time your reward was………JAIL! Go Back and try again

10. Correct! James Bently was let off the hook by the magistrate and continued his daily crimes. Will his next move assure him the path to jail or will he be continuously let off the hook? He continued his daily crimes and did not get caught He was taken to court and proven innocent until the victim had solid proof that he was guilty and he was sentenced to 10 years jail.

11. Incorrect! He did not let that miner off the hook, he never let any miner off the hook. Have you ever heard of a police man who let a criminal off the hook? I think you should try again. Go back and try again

12. Correct! Mark Flister did chain all those miners to a log or tree by Sir Charles Hotham's orders. This frustrated the miners even more. What will he change his ways or will he be even more brutal? He was told by Sir Charles Hotham that he was to harsh and lost his job. His harshness was getting worse but Sir Charles Hotham thinks it’s great and he promotes him to ‘Head Policeman’.

13. Incorrect! At that time all the miners were to lazy to look anymore after they are already frustrated. Paul Go Back and Try again

14. Correct! You did get chained to a tree and nobody who cared about you could find you so you starved to death. Go back and pick a new character Finish the game

15. Incorrect! You didn’t place worse punishments if the miners didn’t show there licences immediately, though that does sound like something he would do it’s not actually what he did. Go back and try again.

16. Correct! He did send in his best troops and his best armies and won the battle but that didn’t stop the miners from continuing their war. What his next move to stop the miners? He keeps giving them all these obstacles to overcome and they always find a way around them. He had that ‘I’ll will never stop until you die’ kind of attitude. He jails 3 miners and the other miners demand their freedom, you refuse so they break them out. He realises that they will do anything to get what they want so he gives them what they want.

17. Incorrect! Though it does sound like he deserved 10 years jail but unfortunately that didn’t happen. Go Back and try again.

18. Correct! He was a very lucky man and didn’t get caught so he could steal food and everything else without because he was skilled with stealth. He started attempting harder and harder acts of crime until, plan gone bad and he got given 7 years of hard labour working as a slave for the Government. He overwhelmed himself with his achievements and claimed that he could steal all the gold that a bushrangers house of 5, owned.

19. Incorrect! Sir Charles Hotham will do any thing to stop the miners fighting for there rights. You might tell him to stop being so harsh but never in a 1000 years will Sir Charles Hotham. Go back and try again

20. Correct! Sir Charles Hotham is a very cruel man so he told all of the other policeman to be that harsh as well. So, it was easier for all of the policemen to follow Mark Flister’s ways if he was the ‘Head Policemen. He’s out one night and he see’s a robbery of Gold being done by one of the most Wanted Bushranger yet. The best troops are worked way to hard and are thoroughly exhausted from all the training for being harsh. The next day they don’t come to work. They want Mark Flister, FIRED!

21. Incorrect! Sir Charles Hotham didn’t put all those obstacles out for them until they die. Though what he’s done in the past does make him seem like he would he didn’t. Go back and try again

22. Correct! Sir Charles Hotham did jail those three miners. And boy, those diggers didn’t like it at all. Since they knew they couldn’t just break them out the started a mob and demanded the miners freedom. Of course that didn’t work so, the miners gathered their best criminals and broke them out. You gave up. Even though you had all that power, they always beat you. You gave them every thing they wanted, lowered the mining fee and gave them the right to vote. You make the mining fee higher and make sure they can’t find all the Gold only your personal diggers can.

23. Incorrect! Even if he did overwhelm himself with his achievements he would have to be crazy to think he could pull that off. Go back and try again

24. Correct! Plan, Gone, BAD! “Oh Oh. 7 years of hard work. The worst 7 years of my life and it only just begun. This is just like breaking a mirror.” Is what you were saying. You spend 2 years plotting a way to claim yourself innocent and finally you think it’s perfect. You get to court and find out The victim has SOLID EVIDENCE! You get 7 more years jail! You go through all those 7 long years and when your free you decide that You will never commit a crime again. That commitment was broken the next day.

25. Incorrect! He’s not that good of a policeman he’s just really harsh. But that did happen to the previous head policeman and he was put back on the force. Go back and try again

26. Correct! All those troops, GONE! None of them to stop the crimes going on for 5 days it was a world of criminals. Sir Charles Hotham (The Lieutenant-Governor of the Victorian Gold Fields) couldn’t have it so he fired you. Go back and pick a new character Finish the game

27. Incorrect! He is exhausted. He didn’t expect this all to be so much work and effort. Go back and try again

28. Correct! Sir Charles Hotham. You gave up. You know know that having power doesn’t always help you achieve your goal it may even put you in a worse position. Go Back and pick a new character Finish the game

29. Incorrect! “Why me? Why me? Why meeeeeee?” is what you would be saying if this did happen to you but it didn’t! Go back and try again

30. Correct! You stole some bread and some other food to feed your family luckily you weren’t caught. You have a really, really long conversation with yourself and decide what’s going to happen and say “I promise everyone and myself that I will never commit a crime again.” Your taking a stroll in your new disguise and find yourself surrounded by fool’s gold and you start piling it in to your pockets without thinking, and you get trapped because you weren’t thinking.

31. Incorrect! Your not that dumb you invented that kind of trap. Any way you didn’t have enough money to buy a disguise so you just stayed at home. Go back and try again

32. Correct! That long conversation with yourself sadly didn’t pay off. That was the only way your family ate and slept. Sadly your family and you passed away. Go back and pick a new character Finish the game
