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.

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