"Finally, I suggest that this position be used as a counting exercise. The point-numbering is in Naccel, first from Blue's perspective, than from White's. Any thoughts on how to count it, Naccelers?"

Here is an attempt -

Blue

The two checkers on n7 move two pips forward (one pip each) for a count of 2 on the 1 Super. The two pips brought forward are offset by the two checkers on n-1 going to the n0 point. All checkers on the n0 point count zero. There is a six-sym for a count of 3 around the n3 point. Leaving the checker on the n16 to go forward four pips for a count of 2(4). This gives a total of 7(4).

White

There is a mirror with the checkers on n7 and n5 for a count of 4. The two checkers on the n2 point are brought forward one pip each to the n1 point to create a poof for the remaining far-side white checkers. Two of the checkers on the n16 are brought back a pip each to offset and create a block on the n16 and n17 points. The block counts as 11. 11 + 4 =15
