I hate to say this, but as an owner of an RP sim in SL, the only way to get what you want is to create it. You would have to have a closed sim or area of play and only allow people in by invitation. Then you'd have to be brutal about enforcing the rules. This, of course, would lead to a very small pool of players and probably to each playing several alts to keep things interesting. It is possible to achieve this kind of situation. It just takes lots of work and seldom lasts forever.
I think you're right. This was how the Dune sim I took part in worked, and it's how the sim I tried to build myself in Fall '08 was going to work (it was doomed by construction problems and money woes). I would gladly accept a tiny pool of players for good rp. It's been my experience that the very best rp is limited to exchanges between two people (which is what I am now limiting myself to, for the most part). And, for what it's worth, Insilico does have strict rules about ooc behavior, it's just that lots of people ignore them and GMs rarely enforce them.
