"While true do" gameplay scripting not starting? [UPDATE 6/4]

I am making a Hide and Seek game. I am doing the gameplay scripting, but my game won't even run the first section of my script! I added a print to test if it got that far, it does not. I realize it is most likely an easy fix, but I cannot find it.

local roundtimer = 60 * 3
local intermissiontime = 5
local serverstorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local event = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local maps = serverstorage:WaitForChild("Maps")
local mapholder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("MapHolder")


while true do   
    print("we made it")
    --Wait for contestants
    while true do
        wait(1)
        contestants = {}
        for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
            local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
            if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then
                table.insert(contestants, player)
            end
        end
    end
    if #contestants >= 2 then
        print("we have enough")
        break
    end

    --Load a random map
    mapholder:ClearAllChildren()
    wait(2)
    local allmaps = maps:GetChildren()
    local newmap = allmaps[math.random(1, #allmaps)]    
    newmap.Parent = game.Workspace
    print(newmap.Name)  
    wait(2)

I am not getting anything in the output from my prints, but I am getting this error twice:

22:16:07.567 - Replication: Can't create default object of type Workspace

and I am also getting this in red:

(a huge link with personal data): WinHttpReceiveResponse, err=0x2EE2

Thanks in advance.

****UPDATE**

I changed up the variables, I think that was the issue. But now I am getting stuck when checking for enough players to play.

    local roundtimer = 60 * 3
    local intermissiontime = 5
    local serverstorage = game.ServerStorage
    local replicatedstorage = game.ReplicatedStorage
    --local debris = game:GetService("Debris")  I'm not using this so I hinted it
    --local event = replicatedstorage.RemoteEvent  I'm not using this so I hinted it
    local maps = game.ServerStorage.Maps
    local mapholder = game.Workspace.MapHolder


while true do   
    print("here") -- this prints
    --Load a random map
    mapholder:ClearAllChildren()
    wait(2)
    local allmaps = maps:GetChildren()
    local newmap = allmaps[math.random(1, #allmaps)]:clone()
    newmap.Parent = game.Workspace
    print(newmap.Name) -- this prints
    wait(2)

    --Wait for contestants
    while true do
        print("this works") -- this prints over and over again even though I am using the Test feature              with two players
        wait(1)
        contestants = {}
        for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
            local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
            if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then
                table.insert(contestants, player)
            end
        end
    end
    if #contestants >= 2 then
        print("we have enough") -- this does not print
        break
    end
