Why won't my text fade out after 2 players or more have joined?

I have 2 localscripts. the first one checks if there are 2 or more players. if there are, it stops the script. if there are less than 2 or more players, it continues the script. the script waits 10 seconds, then has the text fade in. here is the script.

if game.Players.NumPlayers >= 2 then
    wait()
end

if game.Players.NumPlayers <= 1 then

wait(10)

for i=1,10 do
    script.Parent.TextTransparency = script.Parent.TextTransparency-0.1
    wait(0.01)
end

end

my second localscript checks if there are 2 or more players. if there are, it continues the script, if there are less than 2 or more players (1 player) then it stops. when it continues the script, it makes it so that the text does not fade in at all for the 2nd player, and SHOULD fade out the text on the first player. however, the text does not fade out at all.

if game.Players.NumPlayers <= 1 then
    wait()
end

if game.Players.NumPlayers >= 2 then

    if script.Parent.TextTransparency == 1 then
        wait()
    end

    if script.Parent.TextTransparency == 0 then

for i=1,10 do
            script.Parent.TextTransparency = script.Parent.TextTransparency+0.1
            wait(0.01)

    end
    end
    end

what am i doing wrong?
