[UNANSWERED] Why won't my GUI work when accessing it in ServerScriptService?

If you're testing it as a player, that's because what is in the StarterGui does not automatically update with every player. The StarterGui is what's replicated into a player's PlayerGui when they spawn. Here is an edited version of your script:
function Start()
for i = 10, 0, -1 do
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui") and player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Intermission") then
player.PlayerGui.Intermission.TextLabel.Text = "Game beginning in "..i
end
end
wait(1)
end
end
while true do
if game.Players.NumPlayers >= 3 then
wait(1)
Start()
end
wait()
end

This isn't suggested, but would work. For use with FilteringEnabled, it is suggested to use a RemoteEvent fired from the server and handled in a LocalScript.
StarterGui is just a container for GUIs. Whenever a player spawns, the ROBLOX engine automatically makes a copy of everything in StarterGui and pastes it into the Player's PlayerGui object. That's why you don't see any affect when you change the properties of an object in StarterGui.
The startergui will update, but Not update playerguis.

StarterGui is just the Gui that is given when a player spawns. It doesn't update live with all clients.
