I've been skimming over some of the past conversations about Rice Plans,
but can't find anything in the rules about them. Would someone mind
explaining it to me? Thanks!
Rice plans are from a new rule brought about by p8969 which has the
following text
{
The Ricemastor is an office, in charge of tracking Rice, Rice Plans and
Signatures. Rice is a fixed asset, ownable only by players. Any active
player can create a Rice Plan by announcement, if e hasn't done so yet in
the current week. Rice Plans can have Signatures, and each Signature must
be of an active player. A Rice Plan has an active player's Signature as
long as that player is consenting to it. An active player can destroy a
Rice Plan that e has created by announcement.
A Harvest occurs at the beginning of each week. When this occurs:
- If there is only one Rice Plan with the most Signatures, that Rice Plan
is Harvested.
- If there is more than one Rice Plan with the most Signatures, the one
that was created earliest is Harvested.
- In all other cases, nothing happens.
And then all Rice Plans are destroyed and the Harvest ends.
Rice Plans consist of two lists of players, with each list having no
repeated players, and the lists can be empty. One of these lists is its
Rice Up list, and the other is its Rice Down list. When a Rice Plan is
Harvested, for each player listed in its Rice Up list, if that player is
active, e gains 1 Rice; and for each player listed in its Rice Down list,
if e has at least 1 Rice then e lose 1 Rice.
If after a Harvest there is a single active player with at least 2 Rice and
more Rice than any other player, then that player wins the game, and all
Rice is destroyed. When the game has been won in this manner three times,
this rule repeals itself.

tl;dr: players can create "rice plans" which have two sets of players a
"Rice Up" set and a "Rice Down set. a player can consent to give a rice
plan eir signature to support it. the plan with the most signatures goes
through and all of the players in the Rice Up set gain a rice and all of
the players in the Rice Down set lose a rice. if any player has more
than two rice and more rice than any other player e wins. there can only
be three rice wins because then the rule repeals itself
