So say I go offline for a day, make a change at 12:00, someone else makes a conflicting change at 18:00, I reconnect at 19:00, my change will take precedence? That seems wrong.
Maybe one should take the larger of the server and client times?
I know nothing about this topic, but the server also has the version id of the last state (that you fetch) before disconnect. Your update can then be placed on top of that version and not some version far in the future when you reconnect.
