Are you implying the author knows less about the story than the readers?

I do like the part of Gank the Snek that essentially is "Yo, CRX, what do I do? I could go for the spirit beast. Got any better ideas?" Which does kind of translate to "hey yrsillar, you want to write a plan?"
I'm a bit confused on how updating plans works. Do they get edited in place with old votes transferring forward? Does changing a name split the vote?

I'm also wondering, when people use the OP of a plan's user name (ex. [X]Alectai) is it counted? 'Cause I thought you could only vote using the plan's name...

You can use the plan name or the creators username, either works, though the latter means if the person you vote for switches their vote to some other plan, your vote will change to whichever plan they switched too.

Weighing in on the issue of killing the scrubs.
Everyone of these people is dead. There is no question of their status as corpses, only question is how quickly they die, and death by us is possibly the least painful, fastest option available. And i think Ling Qi knows it, the empire does not strike me as a place that goes for long prison sentences and/or rehabilitation when it comes to bandits attacking settlements.
And even further, we are not strong enough to show mercy here, there is one legit threat in the field, and while i am confident we can take them, this assumes we fight for real and don't try to preserve the lives of our enemies, especially when doing so would be more likely to either distract us in critical juncture, or at the minimum get our allies (you know, the soldiers) dead.
We can have a mental breakdown later, right now, it's killing time.
And speaking of already dead.
If this dude is a Bai (which i doubt), i suspect not only is he dead, his family might also be.
Internal power politicking and backstabbing is all well and good, keeps people sharp and acts as a makeshift qualification exam, but a rebellion this open feels like the time when family tree gets pruned quite heavily.

If you vote for a user by name, then that sets your vote to whatever they voted for. This works with any user, not necessarily just plan maker.
Changing a name splits the vote, yes.
Updating a plan by editing in place transfers most votes (not necessarily all - people voted for the plan name that is transfered, but if their vote included the plan text and said text in the original vote changed then their vote stays with the text they specified instead of switching to the new text).
Updating plans is a controversial subject whose details people disagree with. I think most everyone would agree that it is okay to make trivial changes (e.g. fixing arithmetic / spelling / grammar), and that it's NOT okay to make changes that violate the "spirit" of the plan (e.g. pushing a plan that has Ling Qi specifically try to be nonlethal, only to change to using the TE nuke). The middle ground is more conflicted.
My personal opinion is that you should avoid making potentially controversial changes to your plans, ESPECIALLY changes which may be controversial among voters for your plan in particular. For borderline changes, it is good practice to specifically ask if people have objections to the change, and be loud about the change if you do make it so that people can shift their votes if they feel it is appropriate.
