This is a fantastic idea! Reading through one of the games I see:

- players are named based on their model, which can be ambiguous

- some model responses are being cut short

- some models seem to be thinking out loud, or at least not separating their chain of thought from what they tell the group

Thank you. Models are clumsier than I expected in mafia games. Despite my clear instructions to 1) limit max output tokens, 2) avoid thinking out loud, and 3) use the <think></think> tag for internal thoughts, they sometimes behave misleadingly.

You could try issuing two prompts: one to "think", and another to "say to the group". Not as nice as having a model that can properly format its response, but you'll get more accurate results.
