BindableEvents not firing?

Hi,

I've found global functions (_G) to be generally unreliable in the past, so I figured I would use BindableEvents this time, and so far it's been much more organized.

However, for some reason, whenever I call my event to start the game process, it fails. No error message, and the rest of the code executes; it feels like it just skips the lines that fire the events.

Here's the snippet of code. I left out a ton of stuff in the function, but it shouldn't be important past knowing that it's running while the events are not.

EDIT: Also, the event IS being :connect'd in another snippet of code. I'll post it under this one.

function runGame()

    if #game.Players:GetChildren() < minPlayers.Value then
        return false
    end

    events.StartGame:Fire()
    inGame.Value = true
    currentTime.Value = gameTime.Value -- reset time

    -- code here that waits like 10 seconds, basically just consider this line a wait(10)

    events.EndGame:Fire()
    plagueActive.Value = false
    inGame.Value = false

end

Here's the connecting code:

local events = game.ServerStorage.Events
local testTable = {"Yes","No","Maybe so"}
local minPlayers = game.ServerStorage.ReadValues.MinPlayers.Value

script.Parent.Event:connect(function()
    print("Start game event fired.")
    events.LobbyToggle:Fire(false)
    events.KillAllPlayers:Fire()
end)

Thanks, all replies are appreciated!
