Err, I don't and I don't intend to?
My idea is that the sysyem itself is to be the mystery, and that
advancement within the system will mostly take the format of greate
familiarity. As such it becomes the admin's/IMP's duty to actively keep
the system changing and extending so that the player are always more or
less in mystery.

Word of mouth, the attraction of something different.
(Note: I'm not arguing against accurate and extensive help systems)
