Well, no one ever said I can't run for 3 positions...

Just to ensure the Democracy Game III gets off to a good start with a functioning judicial system, I will run for this position. However, I will withdraw my candidacy automatically in the event someone else deides to run for this office.

I will have to withdraw from the race because I am going to run for two other positions already. so in other words, I change my self-nomination to decline.

I knew that, I just didn't want to be a "position pig" and run for 3 things. I was the only one I saw that was running for three things, but now that there is someone else doing the same as me I will once again accept.
