MarkR

Mark joined The Elite in 2002, but never really got into speed running, remaining more active in General Chat and the Elite Chatroom.

Goldeneye

Mark never put his Goldeneye times page up but has a Top 50 total time for Agent difficulty. His achievements include being the first (and at one point only) person to believe that Runway Agent 0:22 was possible, and he spent numerous hours trying to be the first person to get it and convincing people it was possible.

Along with fellow Brit Harvey Manhood, Mark had the idea that the Goldeneye running time during a level might reset after a certain duration (we're talking days/weeks). If it did, there's the possibility it might have restarted from 0 once it reached that barrier. He was planning to abuse it if it ever worked. It didn't.

Mark made a Caverns Secret Agent and 00 Agent strategy which involves missing out the first underground part of the level, but due to the absolute pin point accuracy needed, and unreliability of the scientists, it was deemed useless.

Outside gaming

Mark studied computer science and software engineering for four years at university, and then went onto starting his poker affiliation business with two friends for two years. During these six years he played semi-professional poker for a living, and even won the European Series of Poker 2007 Pot Limit Omaha event, only learning how to play the game hours before the event started in a restaurant with some friends.

He has had many AIM names, which include i337o, IvI4RK and w3rdbird. He is usually referred to as "Poker Mark", as to avoid confusion with the other Mark's in The Elite.

He is an active member of the Elite Puzzle teams.
