I've noticed since a while that a few amazing sleuths here have positive standings with ALL the factions: I know that's possible, but when you do favors for one faction, you go down with the others, and of course those secret plans are always there, BUT, when you get a negative standing with a faction, what do you all do? (I'm not talking about -1 or -3, I mean -10 and so on.)

The only way I know right now is by solving cases for the faction and quitting those against them, is there any other way?

Also, positive standings decrease each day; do negative ones decrease by themselves too? I really haven't noticed!

Yes, the negative ones also decrease and eventually will go back to -1 if you give it long enough time.

As for your other question ... when you work your way up with a faction the other ones in that city will go down. So you have to travel to the other cities where those factions are represented without going negative with the faction you had good standings with. For example, you have +30 with Cosa Nostra but negative with Dies Arcanum and Order of Socrates. You travel to Delhi to work your way up with Dies Arcanum (won't affect Cosa Nostra) and later to Shanghai to become positive with OoS (won't affect Cosa Nostra AND Dies Arcanum).

There's a certain item you can pick up in Cairo which can add to your faction standing without losing standing with the others.

Oh, sorry, I see you've already mentioned Secret Plans! As BadAss says the faction standing heads towards -1, so then it's just a case of doing two cases and giving them some plans. Once they're all in positive you can just keep lathering those plans on.

If you're in an active agency you can get your agency mates to save cases that have the particular political standing you want and then open them and get a quick catch up. I believe that's what the cool kids do.
