Can you give gold to bots? Wouldn't that be a laugh.

You would need to make friends with the bot first, right? Well, I guess you can give money to an enemy?? I wonder?

Is there a "I don't want you stupid gold" button?

You can refuse to accept anything from a realm, but otherwise the gold gets through.

I wonder what would happen if somebody gave Byzantium 100 gold.

That kills me that I can't access it here at work.

Can you account for pillaging revenue (random) and any other gifts received (perhaps from somebody with very deep pockets), not to mention minor variables like unspent upkeep in particularly bloody turns? Without access to another player's turnfile I don't think you can conduct a watertight audit.
Look at the turnfile and figure out some way Bavaria could have gotten to 212 Gold when they had only 105 Gold province value annexed. This is before even considering upkeep. Bavaria had few provinces to pillage and didn't even bother to pillage Venice (it had no damage), which would have netted them approximately 28 Gold. A "watertight audit" isn't required; just some simple math skills, knowledge of the rules and common sense.

I suspect he'd buy a bunch of troops with it which would then start leaving because he couldn't pay the upkeep.

It feels good to see Hungary FINALLY expanding. Too bad it won't last long. The Curse of Venice is already working on me.

It's not bad. I got stuck on one of the levels and got bored. If you play, never let your high level guys die. It really hurts your power later.
