I know that there are some people out there who have changed factions before. Does anyone who has done it know if it is possible to have two factions +1 or more at the same time? Do I need to work exclusively on getting my old order down if I'm at -1 for another faction?

Yes, you can have two factions +1 or more. If you concentrate on just doing cases that move you up in the one you want to join, it doesn't matter what happens to the other two.

If you do little favors to get really high in one faction, though, it will tend to drag down both of the others.

Thanks so much bigdoc! There is hope! :)

Also if you don't do the little jobs for your current faction, your score will drop daily until it reaches 10.

Not sure whether you meant to build BOTH factions. If you do, it will be a very long process. In your case, you have to do pro dies and pro order cases but you can't do anti dies and anti order cases!! Eg. if u get a pro dies BUT anti order case, you can't do it. Else you will see the standing going up and down, up and down...:) If you just want the special skills from all factions, you need 25 pts in order to get the special skill so I find it faster if u just concentrate on one factions by doing the little jobs then switch. Your other 2 factions will drop greatly but it automatically goes up by 1 pt everyday till it reaches -10 so its not too bad.

Thanks everyone for your help! (Hi Delvin!) I was just trying to switch from the Order to Dies, but sometimes when I'd do a pro-Dies case, I was pretty sure that it didn't improve my standing, but I may have been mistaken. I stopped doing 'little jobs' at least 2 weeks ago. However, with help from my agency members, I finally got over the hurdle and I'm on my way to rebuilding in my new faction.
