We got a winner

GeneralDirection: Um, yes there is effort. First lord_farquad must compile the spreadsheet for all teams that get gold, then a request must be sent to our billing department for payment. Once billing receives it, one of three people have the ability to credit gold, of which there is generally one person at any given time. These are the same people who also process account and billing-related support tickets.
Once the task is started, each account from the list is credited gold individually.
There's no magic "make gold" button that automagically reads lod_farquad's mind and dispenses to the appropriate people.
