playerSide defaults to west for JIP players early on during initialization regardless of their side.
So if you are a JIP player on another side (like east), you will need to cater for this for any early initializations. - Posted on 13 Oct, 2008

- playerSide also shows your starting side, even if your side changes to enemy due to a bad rating. In that case, playerSide != side player.
