OK. We have about 5 of us ready to go, but I think at least 2 more will be a good start (and we can add more later, or whatever).
For those of you without the AX expansion, we can start a SMAC game as well (I won't be playing that, though). So everyone who is ready to play a SMAX succession game, confirm it now!
I am thinking what we can do is this: I will start a game with Lal, medium settings, Thinker level (??) on SMAX. I will play turns 1 through 20, but not complete turn 20. Instead, I will save the game when I finish the turn, but the player to recieve the turn will actually hit 'end turn' (to give them a chance to review the game state, and make changes if they want). They will then play turns 21 through 40 (M.Y. 2121 to 2140) and will finish turn 40, but not hit the 'end turn' button. They will then save the game, and then email the save file to the next player in turn. We will continue doing this until the game ends. If, however, our civ starts to become too large, we will shrink the number of turns we each play. I am not sure when or by how much we should do this, so let's just feel it out- we can be democratic about choosing the time and method of shortening each of our 'reigns' in this game.
I am also going to start a thread in the multiplayer forum for us titled 'AXS001' for us to post in when we send the save file off to the next player in line, and for us to have a place to inquire about game status and such. I will start the thread as soon as we get a couple more players though.
The turn order will be the order in which people responded in this thread. Thus far the order is:
Me
Scipio
Commodore
johndmuller
Tau Ceti
Hopefully we will get a few more players very shortly.
Once we get the first game going, we can start other games with different factions and settings!

Yea, I guess at 20 turns a pop with a half dozen players, the game should fit into my schedule. Count me in!
Why not have everyone just play out their 20th game turn, hit TURN COMPLETE and then immediately save the 21st turn w/o playing it?
I take it we will each be responsible for any required diplomacy during our own 'watch'?

PS. I wouldn't sweat it too much if someone inadvertantly plays a turn less or a turn more than they're supposed to, though.
PPS. My playing style with Lal is arrogant pacifistic coward!?  Just kidding. I'ld say cautious builder style fits me.

Still lurking over here with TKG and Cybergod for a Smac game to parallel the Smax game.
Walt, maybe it'll be fun to just 'find out' when you're handed over a mess!
Anunikoba, I like the idea of slowing the turn ratio down as things get complicated.
Here's a feasable outline or two:
Four Players:
1. Players A-D play 20 years each it's now 2180
2. Players A-D play 10 years each...2220
3. 5 years each 2240
4. continue at 5 years till victory.
Six Players:
1. Players A, B, and C play 20 years each 2160
2. Players D, E, and F play 10 years each 2190
3. All players continue at either 5 or 10 year intervals.
Of course, like you said, maybe this should be played by ear.
Shall I go ahead and get the Smac version started? It's up to you Anunikoba, it's your idea. If so, I'll start a new thread and collect names and emails for TKG, Cybergod and whoever else would play that version.

Sorry. I got a little worried when Anunikoba said he was playing the turn, like 'right now', and would send it to the next player ASAP. I realized I didn't know the email address of the person after me.
I have the email address now. Never did get any game file though...
