So, essentially everyone in this scenario is trusting of everything I say? I would be able to persuade people to do anything? So, if I told everyone to build a better more peaceful place or we'd all die in 2022 they'd work their hardest to do it?

Interesting concept. Awfully tempting to use it in less benevolent ways...

If they believe you doesn't mean that they are going to do so.
If i said i was your mom and i wanted you to clean your room, would you? Maybe yes, maybe no.
I would just use it to get out of any situation.
-Have you done your homework?
-Yes
-Did you just eat my sandwich?
-No, that guy did it.
-Will you pay for those merchandises?
-Why? I just paid for them. Don't you remember?

I would marry Kate Beckinsale by telling her I was her husband.

See, this is the problem with this scenario, we'd all like to help end world hunger or establish peace...but man women are just, well, they're just great (Anne Hathaway for me).

If they did not have the concept I was lying, then, they'd merely desire death in the scenario seeing it as a truthful conclusion of not doing the act. What percent of humans would say, "Well I am going to die if I don't do this...but it is work, nah, I'm good."

People know that the global warming is happening and we will all die from flood's and stuff, but who's doing something to prevent it? Well some people do. (or probably that's because i lost faith in humanity)
Oh, and if i people believed me, i would invent a new religion and since everyone believes me i could say that you would end up in a small room for all eternity without dying if you do bad things. Now that's a reason to do whatever i want.

Well, what people do now is reject truth and its consequences, they do not trust the scientist who says "climate change is caused by industrialization". Of course, they're are still people who believe the Earth is flat.

In this scenario people have no concept of deception in themselves or others, which is why such a world would be fundamentally different from ours from its early stages.

Im going to state the obvious by saying i would do every hot girl one the planet... but i would.

I would probably take the local Game Stop, BestBuy, $2 million mansion, simply by telling them i owned them, then build the greatest gaming house of all time out of all that stuff.

Walk into the white house tell them america has been takeover for the net 24 hours and that im invincible so they cant kill me, call russia tell them the same thing but that i have 3 million invisible Pirate/Ninjas in there country, then i would broadcast over the two countries saying that they are being stupid and should be bestest friends and give each other BJ's.

I'll do whatever Ricky Gervais does in the movie that likey inspired this thread, that way I'll have a romantic interest, a fancy adventure with a moral conflict but in the end everything will be resolved and I'll have a happy ending.
