Increment a global variable - can EVM nodes overwrite each other?

Question

I have the following contract:

contract Contract{
  address minter;
  uint gid;

  //...

  //constructor
  function Contract(){
    minter=msg.sender;
    gid=0;
  }
  function kill(){
    if (msg.sender == minter){
      suicide(minter);
    }
  }

  function createAgreement(string name){
      //blah, blah
      //...

      gid++;   //what happens here?!
  }

What happens if 100 users all call createAgreement(...) at the same time (i.e. on the same eth.blockNumber)? Do EVM nodes compete with each other?

I need gid to be unique for each of these 100 users!

Will gid be unique? Or do I need to do something different?

Answer 1

All comptutations that end up on the block chain are done by the lucky miner that mines a block. So there are no competing nodes on the same block. And I believe transactions are being handled one at a time synchronously so you don't have to worry about any race conditions.

All 100 user will have a unique gid with this code.
