I agree that it shouldn't make any different, logically, but then your control group still isn't truly a control group. Your results could be doubted on the basis of things like the participants knowing too much about the experiment and trying to guess patterns in the RNG.

Oh, yes, any results we came up with running the experiment here should be properly doubted from the start. Not only would participants know too much about the experiment, but over the Internet participants wouldn't be directly observable which certainly throws out any real legitimacy. I was only thinking in terms of possibly recreating enough of the test to experience some of the same results, regardless of how those results might be perceived, but I think too much information about the test is now known.
