Here is how to implement the gold giving thing without it being abusive.

Adding a mechanic of giving gold can be another layer of strategy, but it can be abused by teams that put all their eggs in one basket. Here is how to implement it in a non abusive way. First, a player must request gold by typing /request x, where x is a positive integer up to 500. A message will be displayed in chat: "[player] has requested x gold, type /give [player] to give them gold." A player can only request gold every 5 minutes to prevent teams from dumping all the gold on 1 carry.
