No. The only "incentive" to kill, really, was an invitation to a party. [It is just as stupid as it sounds.] Only one person took it; the rest were largely accidental deaths, or deaths for other reasons that weren't coercion, possession, or accident.
[ANNOYED. He was already annoyed from the start of this conversation but HE'S EVEN MORE ANNOYED NOW. HE HATES ACCIDENTAL KILLS. JUST KILL PEOPLE ON YOUR OWN, DAMN.]
But yes, that's what happened. Initially the invite list was supposed to be exclusive, but the idiots on the once-dead side managed to haggle a way for everyone to get in.
[IT DOES. SHE GETS IT. HE WAS SO IRRITATED ALL THE TIME well he's always irritated all the time but damn.
There's like a bare fraction of a beat at the question, though, but fortunately, even though he is terrible at not showing his irritation and anger, he is good at showing only irritation and anger.]
The circumstances that led to my death were seemingly finite, so I wasn't about to go through the circus of a trial and execution for little more than a chance to drink with Satan.
[Don't waste her time!! Or his time!! No time wasting!!!! Even when you have all the theoretical time in the world, wasting time is obnoxious, especially for a utilitarian and generally short-tempered existence like him.
The way he is so mad at those idiots for doing the work because he would frankly have been happier in Hell but instead had to confront the fact that he made FRIENDS and BONDS AGAIN and realizing that he WOULD have been happier there, which is why he doubled down on his godkilling plan about it. Fourth betrayal shit.]
Their bullheadedness may have gotten us through the door, but only because Satan set it up with loopholes to be exploited. We all had to take part in the drinking games, anyway.
[ that is such childish and circular logic to self-destruction. this is why he deletes himself. she can't read his meta, so she can only guess at his crisis (that he wanted to stay dead or in Hell and nothing about friendship and bonds). ]
Not your cup of tea, I imagine, but you still took that second chance, didn't you?

[ she thinks that's kind of lackluster for Hell, but it does make it different. ]
If it's an invitation to outdrink with Satan, didn't you all end up drinking with her? Or enough of you?

[ being forced to trial for an accident... she'd be so irritated. ]

oh, she managed to step onto something. she doesn't indicate she noticed. ]
It didn't seem worth it? Everyone has their own circumstances, but that means those idiots did the work so you didn't have to worry about any of it.

I don't experience passion for life in the way humans do, given your fleeting lifespans. For it to seem "lackluster" is an expression of the finite.
