Your problem is that your plrs variable is created and saved as soon as the script runs. A script in ServerScriptService will run as soon as the server starts, and at that point there won't be any players in the game! This means that the plrs variable will always be an empty table, and your script will error.

To fix this, simply declare plrs inside of all functions that you use it in.

Activate everything when there are 2 players or more in the game

Allow = false
game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:connect(function()
    --When a player is added, the value will update
    if game:GetService('Players'):GetPlayers() > 1 then
        Allow = true
    else
        Allow = false
    end
end)
game:GetService('Players').PlayerRemoving:connect(function()
    -- Same goes for last function
    if game:GetService('Players'):GetPlayers() > 1 then
        Allow = true
    else
        Allow = false
    end
end)
function example()
    --This is an example for every function
    if not Allow then return end
    --Code
end
