How to go against near end game all for one tactics?

Solution 1:

Wait for them to go outside, and shut the gates. Don't open them until the next day.

Solution 2:

While building a hovel is apparently a bannable offense in some towns, it isn't really that detrimental to the town, and you aren't going to accomplish much by banning them. Once they're shunned, they're unlikely to contribute items to the bank (since they can't retrieve them at all) and can't work on construction sites or the workshop. So effectively their AP is useless and that just makes it harder for your town to survive.

If you really want your town to survive for a while longer, tell them that they can get hero time for last man standing if they help the town survive to day 5. Then detail what you need them to do to help accomplish that. Hopefully the rest of your town will pitch in as well.

Remember, this is an apocalypse game. People do crazy stuff in an apocalypse. Rather than shunning people immediately, you need to work to find ways to keep them as productive members of the community.

Solution 3:

1. Shun them all.
2. Build a pump.
3. Transfer water in the bank like crazy.

In a few days, they'll be begging you.

If you don't think you can manage to do so, just spend a night in the desert and start a new life in a different city. If they survive, they won't get to join you in your new town. :)
