Round timer isnt working/restarting?

local repstore = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local playercount = repstore.playercount
local status = repstore.status
local inRound = repstore.inRound
local vote = repstore.vote
local time = 10

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local function playerCounter()
	wait()
	if players.PlayerAdded then
		playercount.Value = playercount.Value + 1
	elseif players.PlayerRemoving then
		playercount.Value = playercount.Value - 1
	
	end
end
playerCounter() -- ignore this playercounter, I will be using it later on.

local function timer()
	for i = time, 1, -1 do
		wait(1)
		status.Value = "Intermission: " .. i .. " Seconds Left"
	end
	wait()
	inRound.Value = true
end

--start
if inRound.Value == false then 
		timer()
	end
	if inRound.Value == true then
		return
	end
--  end : im using this section just for the initial start of the game, ill be using my playercounter 
-- later on; like 2 people are needed to start, etc.

inRound:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function() 
	while wait() do
	if inRound.Value == false then
		timer()
		end
	if inRound.Value == true then
			return
		end
	end
end) -- here is where i tried to repeat the timer but it just doesnt work

Any help is appreciated, thanks! EDIT: The error is that the status doesnt restart, so the "Intermission i Seconds Left" doesn't show again after the first time i called it.

I think return stops the while wait() do loop and exits out of the function.
