I was looking for games for the strategy game discussion, when I ran into this:

Phoenix: Beyond the Stellar Empire

It is a massively multiplayer play-by-email space strategy game revolving around player organizations and politics etc.

I haven't actually tried this yet, but at least accordint to their Yahoo! Group there's quite a bit of roleplaying involved (most of the randomly picked posts seemed to be clearly IC). And I would guess the PBEM nature would keep the general moron population at a distance.

It also has a free account with limited options, so trying it isn't a problem for your vallet.
