Obviously the original reason that it wasn't possible for mafia to talk during the day is that it would be logistically impossible to keep secret. On the other hand there is a certain appeal to having teammates that one cannot communicate with. Many card games use this mechanic to great effect (Bridge, Spades and Euchre are all good examples).

It also seems like discussion between mafia acts as a kind of kibitzing. Since I just thought of that aspect though, I don't really have anything to say about it.
