Your problem is that you're trying to change the gui's text from the StarterGui's gui. When in-game, the gui that you see is stored in your PlayerGui. When a player joins, all guis from StarterGui get cloned into your PlayerGui.

So to fix? Access the gui from your PlayerGui.

This should be used in a localscript;

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer --Get the player
local gui = plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Info --Get the gui

gui.Text = "Intermission 9" --Change the text
