Why does this not Work Like I want it to?

Im making a script that is supposed to grab Peoples Torso, and Anchor it, But it For some reason does not work, It will get down to > wait(WaitTime) Then it stops.

Script here

while true do
	wait()
	x = game.Players:GetChildren()
	WaitTime = 24.5 
for _,v  in ipairs(x) do
 if x.Name ~= {"amegaman","drslicendice","papertiger67"} then
	m = Instance.new("Message")
	m.Parent = game.Workspace
	m.Text = "Hello Yes, You are all About to be Frozen In place Due to amegamans Freeze Script 1.0"
	wait(WaitTime)
	m:Destroy()
elseif x and x.Character then
	l = x.Character:GetChildren()
elseif l.Torso.Anchored == false then
	l.Torso.Anchored = true
end
end
end

Well, instead of having "wait(WaitTime)" just put wait(24.5) it saves up some space on the variable side. It saves space and will not create a difference. Do not worry, I have this problem with gui's to. Though, in the case of "m = Instance.new", either making it global or specifying it as local may or may not make a difference. Now, it would be much more helpful if you could give us the output for the error.

local ignore = {
	["amegaman"] = true,
	["drslicendice"] = true,
	["papertiger67"] = true
}

while true do
	local plrs = game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()
	local m = Instance.new("Message", workspace)
	m.Text = "You will all be frozen!"
	for _, v in ipairs(plrs) do
		if not ignore[v.Name] then
			local char = v.Character
			if char then
				char.Torso.Anchored = true
			end
		end
	end
	wait(24.5)
	m:Destroy()
end
