Mark Marvelli

From the unofficial Duke TIP Wiki

Mark Marvelli is a former TIPster and current instructor. He is one of the Trinity, but was called Christian (his middle name) as a TIPster. Mark Marvelli is NOT a TIP baby, he was born in December. He refuted this legend in co-hosting a "TIP Lore" mandatory fun activity in 2004. According to that activity, there have been no TIP babies. Mark Marvelli was roommates with Sam Prevatt, the OSC, as a TIPster.

Mark Marvelli was apparently busted with an Alspaugh girl. Hmmm...

He later, as a RC, busted Zach Yoneda for a similar offense. Hmm....

He was part of the Trinity and was on staff at Duke East through 2004. In 2005, he taught a class at TIP at Texas, despite his penchant for always lying.

Mark battled David DeWeese in Rock, Paper, Scissors over The Mandate of Heaven. Mark opened with a classic Paper > Rock win against DeWeese. DeWeese, understanding that Marvelli wanted The Mandate of Heaven very badly, knew that Mark would throw his fire, so DeWeese threw water, in hopes of countering the once-in-a-lifetime attack. The resulting force of the two TIP traditional RPS powers caused Mark Marvelli to do a flying back-flip over a chair, draining him of all will to win. With Marvelli drained, DeWeese easily beat him with a Rock > Scissors victory. David DeWeese gained The Mandate of Heaven, but has recently left TIP, ensuring that it's might cannot be taken by a TIPster for wrongful purposes.
